VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION OF STRELITZIA REGINAE *

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 1988
Strelitzia reginae is propagated either by division of naturally developed branches known as fans or by seeds. Vegetative propagation by division is limited by a low rate of multiplication being 0.5–1.5 divisions per branch per year. Branching originates in the division of the apical dome with an absolute abscence of branching from axillary buds ...

Strelitzia reginae Leaf as a Natural Template for Anisotropic Wetting and Superhydrophobicity

open access: yesLangmuir, 2012
Artificial surfaces that exhibit unidirectional water spreading and superhydrophobicity are obtained by Strelitzia reginae leaves. Both green and dried leaves are used, thus exploiting the plant senescence. We demonstrate that the natural drying process of the leaves strongly affects the surface morphology and wettability.

Phenalenones from Strelitzia reginae

open access: yesJournal of Natural Products, 2000
Phytochemical analysis of rhizomes of Strelitzia reginae resulted in the isolation and identification of an unusual new (1) and four known phenalenone-type compounds, which were identified using MS and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The occurrence of phenalenones in Strelitziaceae, which has been established for the first time, is of chemotaxonomic ...

Micropropagation of Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae Ait.)

The National Academy of Sciences, India, 2020
In vitro micropropagation of bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae Ait.), an important commercial ornamental plant, has been studied here. Rhizomes collected from established mother plant were used as explants for establishment of culture on MS medium supplemented with plant growth regulators (PGR), 3% sucrose and gelled with 0.8% agar.

Anatomy of the Strelitzia reginae flower (Strelitziaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, 1986
The Strelitzia reginae Ait. flower has many remarkable structural spezializations, the histology and cytology of which we have investigated. The chromoplasts of the sepals are conspicuously elongated and enclose numerous carotenoid tubules parallel to the ...

Thread–like formations in the anthers of Strelitzia reginae

Nordic Journal of Botany, 1981
In the dehiscent anthers of Strelitzia reginae Ait. thread–like formations occur among the pollen grains. The threads are derived from specialized epidermal cells in the stomium region. These cells are liberated from the normal epidermal cells and from each other along their radial walls.

Histogenesis of the transmitting tract in Strelitzia reginae

Nordic Journal of Botany, 2001
Organisation and development of the stigmatic, stylar and ovarian parts of the transmitting tract in Strelitzia reginae were evaluated. They were characterised by 1) cell shape, 2) appearance of distal cell wall, 3) type of plastid, 4) and vacuolar system.

The nectar of the Strelitzia reginae flower

Physiologia Plantarum, 1989
The nectar of Strelitzia reginae Ait. was analysed using enzymatic methods and found to contain glucose, fructose and sucrose. Sugar composition changed considerably over the nectar producing period: there was an increase in the amount of glucose (41%) and fructose (32%) between the early and middle stage of secretion and thereafter a decrease of 13 ...
