STUDY DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. PURPOSE To assess the diagnostic value of suction drain tip culture in patients undergoing primary posterior spine surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE To date, the diagnostic value of suction drain tip culture for predicting surgical site infection (SSI) has not been firmly established in orthopedic or spinal surgery. METHODS In total, 133 patients w...

Optimization of in vitro regeneration protocol using multiple input variables is highly significant, and can be achieved by validating the data machine learning algorithms. Shoot tip nodal segment explants Alternanthera reineckii mini were inoculated on Murashige Skoog (MS) medium enriched with different concentrations benzylaminopurine (BAP), cultured under five monochromic light-emitting diod...

The present study describes the major content and antimicrobial activity of Azadirachta indica cell culture extracts. Major constituents of cell culture extracts were evaluated by HPLC and chromatographic analysis revealed that highest concentrations of azadirachtin (0.0069 % dry wt) synthesised by multiple shoot cultures. The results showed that multiple shoot cultures synthesised ~17-fold mor...

A commentary on Invasion of shoot apical meristems by Chrysanthemum stunt viroid differs among Argyranthemum cultivars Given that they do not encode proteins, viroid RNAs are extremely dependent on host factors for completing their infection cycle. This cycle consists of: (i) access to the organelle wherein they are replicated, the nucleus in the family Pospiviroidae (type member potato spindle...

two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (freesia ×hybrida bailey 'argenta'). interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...
