Mammalian steroid hormones (MSH) are also inherently synthesized by several plant species. However, external application of further stimulates cell division, pollen germination, growth and development. There is little known about the effects MSH on polymorphism DNA damage in Triticum aestivum L under vitro conditions. In this study, inter-primer binding site (iPBS) retrotransposon coupled restr...

This experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different types and concentrations of carbohydrate source on callus fresh weight, number of somatic embryos per embryonic explant and percentage of globular embryos developing into cotyledonary embryos from the leaf explants of three strawberry cultivars (Kurdistan, Paros and Camarosa). MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyace...

Background: The developmental competence of oocytes matured in vitro (IVM) is yet far below than in vivo counterparts. Recent studies suggest that the asynchrony between nuclear/cytoplasmic maturation and the initial low/heterogeneous quality of oocytes are the most important factors affecting IVM success. We investigated whether selection of growing oocytes (based on their glucose 6- phosphate...

This study aimed to establish a compelling approach for inducing embryogenesis through in vitro anther culture Scarlet eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum L.), the most consumed and popular among indigenous vegetables on African continent. While androgenesis has been favorably employed brinjal melongena L.) breeding, there no attempt induce large germplasm of its relative, Solanum aethiopicum. In two...

Systematic studies of mouse embryo culture beginning in 1949 led to an understanding of essential medium components for early mammalian embryos, and embryo culture from the zygote to the blastocyst stage was achieved in 1968. Since then, medium components that are either beneficial or detrimental for embryo culture have been identified. A variety of culture media that mimic the female reproduct...

Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula L. Roxb) is a popular and nutritious vegetable in Bangladesh. The present investigation was undertaken to establish an efficient in vitro regeneration system of ridge gourd from immature embryo and cotyledon explants. Immature embryos and cotyledons were collected from immature seeds and culture on MS medium supplemented with various concentration and combination o...

the development of culture media able to mimic the preovulatory stage of follicular environment and support nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of oocyte is important for in-vitro fertilization (ivf) programs. it seems that the best culture media for embryonic development and cell cleavage is the natural composition which surrounds the oocyte which has been used occasionally in human ivf program...

BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the efficacy of using an embryo transfer medium enriched with hyaluronan (HA) to improve implantation in a selected group of patients aged <43 years with repeated (>4) implantation failures after IVF-embryo transfer. METHODS About 101 patients, meeting our selection criteria, were randomly allocated to undergo embryo transfer either using our routine embryo tran...

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...

common yew taxus baccata l. is an evergreen, slow growing   tree, indigenous of hyrcanian forests in iran. discovery of paclitaxel as an   anti tumor agent in the bark of taxus has increased importance of this   plant for treatment of breast and ovary cancer, especially 7000 women die annually   due to breast cancer in iran. regarding destructive method of paclitaxel   production and protection...
