UCB-1 (Pistacia atlantica × P. integrima) is a commercial rootstock for pistachio in some pistachio plantations across the world. This rootstock is very new in Iran and recently, it has been used commercially in some plantations due to its high growth. Propagation of this rootstock by tissue culture results in many limitations such as shoot tip necrosis (STN) and a low proliferation rate. There...

Conventional vegetative propagation of sugarcane generally has low multiplication rate and allows distribution diseases. Micropropagation is the only practical means achieving rapid, large-scale production disease-free quality planting material. Experiments on shoot tip culture initiation were laid out in completely randomized design with 2x3x3 4x5x3 factorial treatment arrangements respectivel...

A simple method was developed to permit albino plant regeneration from anther culture of Hobigonj Boro (Hbj B) IV and Hbj B VI, two local varieties of aromatic indica rice from Bangladesh. Three crucial factors were identified for the albino shoot primordia to change into green plantlets in culture; components of M10 induction medium, callus size (range 0.2-0.4 cm long) and height of shoot prim...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the prognostic value of drain tip culture performed for surgical site infection (SSI) after spinal surgery with a large number of subjects, and investigated whether the type of surgery or timing of drain removal correlated with positive drain culture and SSI rates. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA In many institutions, routi...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) has wide range of economic importance due to its major and by-products. Seed multiplication of newly released varieties of sugarcane is one of the major constraints. Once a desired clone is identified, it usually takes 6-7 years to produce sufficient quality of improved seed material. This long duration causes a major bottleneck in breeding programmes. For t...

BACKGROUND Aloe vera L. is an important pharmaceutical plant from which several medicinal and cosmetic compounds are extracted. Aloe is naturally propagated through offset, which is a slow and expensive labor cost method with low economical income. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effect of different media on shoot proliferation of the shoot tip of Aloe vera L. was investigated. MATERIALS AND ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. PURPOSE To assess the diagnostic value of suction drain tip culture in patients undergoing primary posterior spine surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE To date, the diagnostic value of suction drain tip culture for predicting surgical site infection (SSI) has not been firmly established in orthopedic or spinal surgery. METHODS In total, 133 patients w...

Optimization of in vitro regeneration protocol using multiple input variables is highly significant, and can be achieved by validating the data machine learning algorithms. Shoot tip nodal segment explants Alternanthera reineckii mini were inoculated on Murashige Skoog (MS) medium enriched with different concentrations benzylaminopurine (BAP), cultured under five monochromic light-emitting diod...

The present study describes the major content and antimicrobial activity of Azadirachta indica cell culture extracts. Major constituents of cell culture extracts were evaluated by HPLC and chromatographic analysis revealed that highest concentrations of azadirachtin (0.0069 % dry wt) synthesised by multiple shoot cultures. The results showed that multiple shoot cultures synthesised ~17-fold mor...
