Ex situ conservation of three Himalayan ferns through hydroponic culture under Greenhouse conditions

“The Ex Situ Conservation of Stinking Cedar”

The propagation of plants for food, timber, medicines and aesthetics has been a principal activity of man for millennia. However, the systematic propagation of plant material for the purposes of conservation has a recent history, probably dating back only a few decades. The propagation and distribution of Torreya taxifolia from wild collected, documented material is one of the largest projects ...

Integrating Ex situ and In situ Conservation of Lemurs

Site-based and cross-regional habitat and species conservation e!orts in Madagascar, such as proposed in the previous chapters of this Lemur Conservation Strategy, should always be the main focus of lemur conservation. However, with many wild lemur populations rapidly declining and their habitat being lost at constantly high rates, captive assurance colonies are becoming increasingly important,...

Sampling for Effective Ex Situ Plant Conservation

study of hydroponic culture systems in greenhouse production of cucumber

in order to compare two hydroponic culture systems (countinuous and pumic) for producing two cultivars of greenhouse cucumber (2259 and delta star) an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with five replications. for mineral nutrition of plants murashige and skoog solution (m.s.) was used by concentration of leaves. the height of the stem, diameter of the first internode,...

Osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp-derived stem cells under various ex-vivo culture conditions.

Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can be easily isolated and cultured in low-serum containing medium supplemented with growth factors PDGF-BB and EGF while exhibiting multipotency and immature phenotypic characteristics. In the present study, we investigated their potential to differentiate towards osteogenic lineages using various culture conditions in order to optimize their therapeutic use. DPS...
