In vitro microbial contaminations are the most serious problems in plant tissue culture. Initial attempts for micropropagation of Dionysia tapetodes, a beautiful alpine cushion plant from north-east Iran, led to 100% explants contamination. Hence, the present study was conducted to develop an efficient surface sterilization protocol for in vitro culture of field collected D. tapetodes using com...

Background: In vitro maturation can have deleterious effects on spindle formation and proper chromosome alignment in human oocytes and can be profoundly affected by culture conditions. This study compared the spindle presence and location with the maturation rate Abstracts of the 12th Royan International Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine 3 1 International Journal of Fertility & Sterility (IJ...

In vitro culture of human ovarian tissue the following cryopreservation is proposed for follicular development. There are no techniques that guarantee successful maturation of the follicles within the excised tissue. The viability of cultured human ovarian tissue improved by adding some growth factors to the culture media. The efficiency of vitrification as the cryopreservation method for human...

background: promastigotes of leishmania spp. have been readily cultured, but the axenic culture of amastigotes has been successful in l. donovani , l .infantum l. mexicana and l. pifanoi . however, some species such as l. major, is much less amenable to axenic cultivation. in present study, we describe an in vitro culture system for the generation and propagation of axenic amastigotes form of l...
