Item The effect of thidiazuron on axillary shoot proliferation of Hevea brasiliensis in vitro(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatte, 1996) Senaviratne, P.; Flegmann, A.W.Multiple axillary shoot production with a shoot doubling time of 26 days was obtained from nodal explants of juvenile orgin Hevea brasiliensis on a medium containing thidiazuron (N-phenyl- N'1,2,3-thidiazol-5ylyrea) at 0.02 ppm in combination with NAA at 0.2 ppm. The clusters of axillary buds produced in the presence of thidiazuron were subcultured at 4-week intervals while subdividing into two to four small propagules depending on the size of the cluster. Axillary buds showed a satisfactory elongation on their transfer onto a growth regulator-free medium. Elongated axillary shoots which were more than 100 mm in hight produced roots in the presence of IBA at 2 ppm.Item The positional effect of the explant on In vitro growth of axillary buds of Hevea brasiliensis(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatte, 1996) Senaviratne, P.; Flegmann, A.W.; Wijesekera, G.A.S.Apart from the high apical dominance showed in shoot explants of hevea, the location of the node in the shoot, seems to play a vital role in in vitro axillary bud proliferation. Better performance was observed when the axillary buds harvested as nodes, were not too close and also not too far from the apex as measured by the primary axillary shoot growth. This was true for both juvenile and mature arigin materials. Furthermore, "active" nodes were superior to "dormant" nodes.Item The role of snag on the growth of scion in bud grafted plants of Hevea with special reference to young buddings(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatte, 1995) Senaviratne, P.; Nugawela, A.; Samarakoon, S.M.A.Item Three - part trees (crown budding)(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatta, 1997) Senaviratne, P.Item White root disease of Murraya koenigii from Sri Lanka caused by Rigidoporus microporus(NSF:Colombo, 2016-09) Fernando, T.H.P.S.; Senaviratne, P.; Siriwardane, D.; Madushani, H.K.I.
