[structure: see text] A bimodal target-specific contrast agent based on a cyclic peptide containing the target-specific NGR sequence, gadolinium(III) diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd(III)DTPA), and Oregon Green 488 (OG488) suitable for both MR imaging and optical imaging of angiogenesis is developed. The synthetic strategy for this target-specific contrast agent exploits the use of highly...

A simple method was developed to permit albino plant regeneration from anther culture of Hobigonj Boro (Hbj B) IV and Hbj B VI, two local varieties of aromatic indica rice from Bangladesh. Three crucial factors were identified for the albino shoot primordia to change into green plantlets in culture; components of M10 induction medium, callus size (range 0.2-0.4 cm long) and height of shoot prim...

for sexual reproduction of allium hirtifolium, collected bulbs were planted in the field. in order to develop ovary embryo and seed setting, control self-pollination and natural open pollination took placed using honey bees under cages. ovary development and seed setting of a. hirtifolium extraordinary were affected by pollination and there was a significant difference between mean effect of se...

three separate experiments were conducted to investigate micropropagation of four pear cultivars. in the first trial, the effect of four cultural media (ms, ms/2, msn/2 and mql) were compared on such traits as shoot length, shoot number and color of leaf. from among the media, ms/2 and msn/2 resulted in the most shoot proliferation and the longest shoots respectively. ms medium produced green d...

In response to the dramatic increase in social media usage among young generation, patterns of manufacturing and consumption have changed. Social has altered green market completely changed consumer psychology attitude. The influence on younger generation’s behavior regarding through subjective norms perceived value is hardly discussed earlier literature with special reference China. This study...

The objective of this study was to produce durum wheat doubled haploid plants through the induction of microspore embryogenesis. The microspore culture technique was improved to maximize production of green plants per spike using three commercial cultivars. Studies on factors such as induction media composition, induction media support and the stage and growth of donor plants were carried out i...
