Because dopamine influences arginine vasopressin (AVP) release, the present studies were designed to ascertain the dopamine receptor subtype that potentiates angiotensin II-induced AVP secretion in cultured hypothalamo-neurohypophysial explants. Dopamine (a nonselective D1/D2 agonist), apomorphine (a D2 ≫ D1 agonist), and SKF-38393 (a selective D1 agonist) dose dependently increased AVP secreti...

context : cumin ( cuminum cyminum l.) as a member of the apiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. objective : an experiment was conducted for evaluation of callus induction optimization in cumin accessions (shahdad, koohbanan, badrood and afghanistan). materials and methods : factorial experiment based on completely randomized design (crd) with three replicati...

Introduction: A reliable source of cultured keratinocytes is essential as a component of oral mucosa substitutes to treat burns and wounds of the oral and maxillofacial region. Primary monolayer cell cultures have been also extremely helpful in the study of the basic biology and responses to stimuli, of both oral and skin keratinocytes, and many studies have used them. There are two techniques ...

In this study, an in vitro propagation protocol of Poncirus trifoliata L. (Raf.) rootstock, which is one the main rootstocks used citrus, was created. Monocular node parts plant, source explant, were cultured MS nutrient media containing BAP at dissmilar concentrations (0.5-1.0-2.0 mg/l). Afterward, it observed that shoot appearance and tillering achieved explants medium comprising 1.0 mg/l BAP...

An efficient protocol providing a dual regeneration pathway via direct shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis for an endangered species, Metabriggsia ovalifolia W. T. Wang, was established from leaf explants. When applied at 2.5 μM, the cytokinins 6-benzyladenine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ) and the auxins indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-acetic acid ...

In order to select the best tomato cultivar for Agrobacterium mediated gene transformation studies, In vitro regeneration frequency of hypocotyls, leaf disc and shoot tip of five tomato cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum) was investigated on a regeneration medium supplemented with 1 mg/l zeatin and 0.1 mg/l indole-3-acetic acid. Significant differences in regeneration capacity between genotypes...

cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) as a member of the apiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants in iran. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and explant type on callus induction in cumin. for this purpose the cumin seeds (kuhbanan accession) were disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and alcohol and cultured on ms basal medium. leaf and hyp...

BACKGROUND Explant browning presents a major problem for in vitro culture, and can lead to the death of the explant and failure of regeneration. Considerable work has examined the physiological mechanisms underlying Phalaenopsis leaf explant browning, but the molecular mechanisms of browning remain elusive. In this study, we used whole genome RNA sequencing to examine Phalaenopsis leaf explant ...

background: sentinel  lymph  node  biopsy  has  shown  to  be  a  good  alternative procedure  for  axillary  lymph  node  dissection  and  to lead  to  lower  frequency  of morbidity, though this technique has its own side effects. it needs especial equipment and may not be available in some medical centers, especially in developing countries. this study aimed to identify a subgroup of patient...
