improvements on embryo micromanipulation techniques led to the use of embryo biopsy in commercial embryo transfer programs for genetic analysis of preimplantation bovine embryos. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of bovine blastocyst derived from embryos biopsied at different precompacted morulae stages by assessment of cryosurvivability of the resulting blastocysts. the in vitr...

background: ovarian tissue transplantation is emerging technologies for fertility preservation. in addition, in vitro maturation (ivm) of oocytes retrieved from ovarian tissues may overcome the fertility defects in certain cases. objective: the aim was to evaluate the best site for ovarian tissue transplantation in mice. also, feasibility of ivm of oocytes retrieved from auto grafted ovarian ti...

in vitro propagation of rose has played a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation using nodal segments of rosa canina under different combinations of bap, ga3 and naa on ms and vs, medium was investigated. the results showed that the highest shoot proliferation was obtained on vs medium cont...

the success rate of several advanced basic and clinical techniques in the field of mammalian biotechnology, including cloning, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, and assisted reproductive techniques (art) depends mainly on the success rate of pregnancy following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (ivfet). the techniques used in art have advanced considerably since the first in vitro fertil...

In vitro fertility assessment using fluorescent technique is a better predictor of fertility status of bulls as compared to traditional semen quality assessment techniques, therefore, the study was planned to assess in vitro fertility status of bulls based on conventional and fluorescent techniques. Seventy-three ejaculates were collected from 12 Murrah buffalo bulls maintained at Artificial Br...
