A rapid in vitro propagation system has been established from mature shoot tip and nodal segments of ahighly valuable medicinal plant Alternanthera sessilis (L.). The explants were cultured on Murashige andSkoog’s medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators forshoot bud initiation and multiplications. For shoot tip, highest freque...

Shoot tips from actively growing, greenhouse maintained plants of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana were cultured in vitro for shoot proliferation and root initiation on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with NAA and BA, both in concentrations of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1. Results showed that the maximum plantlets height (7.012 cm), node number (4.516), root number (8.860) and roo...

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot from tea (Camellia sinensis L. assamica × sinensis) leaf was investigated in this research. Callus was formed and grew well when explants were cultured on LS basal medium supplemented with (in mg/L) thiamine-HCl, 1.25; pyridoxine-HCl, 0.625; nicotinic acid, 0.625; indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 30; naphthalen...

Источниками фитопрепаратов являются лекарственные растения, которые ценятся во всем мире, и могут исчезнуть в эпоху изменения климата. Одним из таких источников является грецкий орех. Грецкий орех входит род Juglans семейства Juglandaceae. Цель исследования состоит, том, чтобы изучить действие различных концентрации стимуляторов роста на различные виды эксплант regia effigia с использованием те...

Previously, we have shown that embryonic corneal epithelia can interact with, and respond to, soluble extracellular matrices (ECM) (laminin, collagen, and fibronectin). The basal surface of epithelia isolated free of the underlying ECM can be seen to be disrupted by numerous blebs that sprout from this formerly smooth surface. Laminin, collagen, or fibronectin added to the culture medium cause ...

Chronic inflammation is associated with an infiltration of mononuclear cells, fibroblast proliferation, and elevated levels of prostaglandin (PG) E2. Mononuclear cell conditioned factor (MNCF) medium (5%) stimulated a 100-fold increase in basal human dermal fibroblast PGE2 release over 48 h as compared with fibroblasts that were incubated with control medium (conditioned medium prepared without...

Mouse epidermal basal cells can be selectively cultivated in medium with 0.02 to 0.09 mM Ca2+ and can be induced to differentiate by medium containing 1.2 mM Ca2+. Basal cell cultures were studied to determine if all cells in this population responded identically to the skin tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Studies on the induction of the enzyme epidermal transglutamin...

The outermost layer of the Bacillus anthracis spore is the exosporium, which is composed of a paracrystalline basal layer and an external hair-like nap. The filaments of the nap are formed by a collagen-like glycoprotein called BclA, while the basal layer contains several different proteins. One of the putative basal layer proteins is ExsY. In this study, we constructed a DeltaexsY mutant of B....
