objectives : platelet preparations are commonly used to enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. considering the existing controversies on the efficacy of platelet products for tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are required. the aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) on proliferation and viab...

The natural tragacanth gum, the sap of Astragalus gummifer, has been successfully used as a gelling agent in tissue culture media for in vitro shoot development and proliferation of miniature rose and carnation. Shoot development of nodal segments excised from greenhouse grown plants, was investigated on MS medium solidified with either 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0% tragacanth or 0.8% agar as control....

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) var. Mattu Gulla (MG) and var. Perampalli Gulla (PG) are unique varieties with distinct flavour cultivated in Udupi, Karnataka State, and are exposed to several biotic and abiotic stresses. An efficient and reproducible in vitro regeneration method is required to expedite the manipulation of these brinjal varieties to cope up with stress by tissue culture and gene...

Abstract Plant growth and development are strongly influenced by light quality conditions in their environment. In this study, vitro shoot proliferation, photosynthetic pigments, leaf anatomy photosystem II photochemistry of Gisela 6 cherry rootstock ( Prunus cerasus x canescens ) were investigated. The culture medium used was the MS (Murashige Skoog) containing 4.4 μΜ 6-benzyladenine (BA), 0.0...

Achillea species are of high medicinal value based on their use in traditional medicine and content secondary metabolites with potential application dermatology cosmetic industry. occulta is a single-mountain local prioritized vulnerable Greek endemic encountering propagation problems through seeds root division. In vitro can be used for the rapid mass production clonal plants complying phytoch...

Context: It is necessary to focus on the importance of adopting micropropagation technique for mass propagation of the plantlets in commercial scale as well as conservation and distribution of germplasm. Objective: The present investigation has been designed with a view to establishing protocol of in vitro regeneration of medicinal plant species i,e., Vitex nigundo L (Verbenaceae). Materials an...

In this work, we report the effect of biopolymers (starch and gelatin) on in vitro biocompatibility property of nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp) composites. Cell culture and MTT assays were performed for in vitro biocompatibility. They show that nHAp can affect the proliferation of cells and the nHAp-starch and nHAP-gelatin biocomposites have no negative effect on the cell morphology, viability and p...
