plant tissue culture is an alternative method of commercial propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-e...

A quantitative one-step SYBR Green I-based reverse transcription (RT)-PCR system was developed for the detection and differentiation of four different dengue virus serotypes in acute-phase serum samples. A set of group- and serotype-specific primer pairs was designed against conserved sequences in the core region and evaluated for clinical diagnosis. A linear relationship was obtained between t...

this paper reviews recent strategies used for increasing specific yield and productivity in high cell density cultures. high cell density cultures offer an efficient means for the economical production of recombinant proteins. however, there are still some challenges associated with high cell density cultivation (hcdc) techniques. a variety of strategies in several aspects including host design...

Rotaviruses group A are the major cause of diarrhea in calves under one month and every year causes enormous economic losses. Serological and molecular techniques can be used for rapid detection of rotaviruses but virus isolation requires specific methods of cell culture and suitable cell lines. In this study, 41 samples were collected from diarrheal calves up to the age of one month, from indu...
