abstract somatic embryogenesis is a new approach to in vitro plant propagation. this technique is based on stem cell obtain and its differentiation to a complete plant. this is affected by components of media culture. so, the effects of ms, b5 and nl media on carrot petiole somatic embryogenesis investigated via histological experiment. to do this, carrot petioles (with 1 cm dimension) cultured...

Pearl culture industry represents one of the dominant business sector of French Polynesia. However, it still entirely relies on unpredictable spat collection success. Our aim was to assess the influence of natural plankton concentration fluctuations on maturation and spawning of the black lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, during a 4 months survey conducted in Ahe atoll lagoon.

The organochlorine o,p'- dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (o,p'-DDD) is a metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), known for its adrenolytic actions in birds and mammals. The effects of o,p'-DDD on the cortisol stress response were investigated in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, in a dose-response study in vivo. A dose-dependent decrease in plasma cortisol levels was observed on d...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) originate within the aortic-gonado-mesonephros (AGM) region of the midgestation embryo, but the cell type responsible for their emergence is unknown since critical hematopoietic factors are expressed in both the AGM endothelium and its underlying mesenchyme. Here we employ a temporally restricted genetic tracing strategy to selectively label the endothelium, and ...

to explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of fagonia indica burm., cotyledon explants were obtained from 10-day old aseptically germinated seedlings that cultured on ms medium which supplemented with 1.0-5.0 µm 2,4-d. callus was initiated from cotyledon explant on ms medium supplemented in all concentrations of 2,4-d investigated. 2,4-d was more effective than iaa and naa for cal...
