taxus chinensis var. mairei is a rare and endangered medicinal plant species distributed in china. in order to promote fast propagation and preserve the natural resources, conditions for in vitro germination and seedling development of embryos of t. chinensis var. mairei from anhui or zhejiang were investigated. results showed that in vitro germination rate of excised embryos cultured under 14 ...

objective(s): endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disease with unknown etiology. noscapine has been introduced as a cancer cell suppressor. endometriosis was considered as a cancer like disorder, the aim of present study was to investigate noscapine apoptotic effect on human endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells in vitro. materials and methods:in this in vitro study, endometrial biopsie...

AIM To confirm the hypothesis of the presence of a possible endometriosis inducing factor(s) (EIF) in the blood of women with endometriosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty infertile women were studied. The study group compromised of fifteen women of each three different degrees of endometriosis and fifteen women without endometriosis as a control group. Stem cells are characterized by being spind...

for half a century, the limitations of obtaining cross-combinations in lilies because of the incompatibility and incongruity between different varieties have been known. somatic hybridization is one of the most powerful tools for achieving distant interspecific hybrids. for this purpose, protoplast preparation is a first and important step in efficient system for the regeneration of plants from...

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...

background & aim: effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. direct effects of uv on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves. material & methods: the present research for the first time was conducted to inv...
