ABSTRACT Flow cytometry and microsatellite markers were used to determine a genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants from the two Eucalyptus urophylla x E. globulus clones and a Eucalyptus grandis x E. globulus clone derived from adult material. Clones were repeatedly subcultured for 25 subcultures on MS medium supplemented with BA (2.22 µM) and ANA (0.05 µM) for in vitro shoot multiplication. The elongation was performed in MS culture medium supplemented with AIB (2.46 µM) and BA(0.22 µM). The ex vitro rooting and acclimatization phases were lead at the same time. The micropropagated clones showed genetic stability by flow cytometry and microsatellite markers. The results proved that micropropagation, for purposes of rejuvenation, can be a viable technique to generate genetically stable or identical E. globulus hybrid clones.

The present investigations were made attempting to develop a rapid, reliable, and reproducible in vitro regeneration protocol for Artemisia absinthium L., a medicinal plant of Kashmir Himalayas. Out of several auxin-cytokinin combinations tested, Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mgL−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.5 mgL−1 kinetin (Kn) was found to be the best for the callus induction. On the other hand, 4.5 mgL−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.5 mgL−1 1-α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in the medium resulted in maximum shoot induction from the callus. Similarly, BAP and NAA at a concentration of 1.5 mgL−1 and 0.5 mgL−1, respectively, proved to be the best for the multiple shoot induction from nodal explants. Numerous shoots were obtained from nodal explants after third subculture. In vitro rooting was maximum on medium containing indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 0.5 mgL−1. The genetic stability of the in vitro raised plants of Artemisia absinthium was assessed using the intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-specific amplification polymorphism (SSAP) molecular markers. Both markers were able to detect the somaclonal variations in the callus regenerated plants, while no variation was detected in the plants regenerated from the nodal explants. SSAP has been found to be more useful in detection of variability as compared to ISSR molecular marker. The results of present study concluded that the direct regeneration protocol will be useful for the production of true to type plants of this medicinally important plant. This will go a long way in reducing the pressure on the natural populations for the secondary metabolite production, especially for extraction of essential oils.

Abstract Genetic instability in melon species sometimes occurs as a result of in vitro tissue culture and transformation systems. This study describes a new regeneration technique for agrobacterium-mediated co-culture of muskmelon explants (Cucumis melo L. c.v. ‘Khatooni’). Here, no genetic instability was observed in positive PCR regenerants. 4-day-old cotyledonary explants had been infected with LBA4404 Agrobacterium suspensions. The co-cultivation occurred in the presence of 100mg/l rifampicin and 50mg/l kanamycin. The bacteria contained a binary vector pBI121 carrying nopaline synthase by the promoter-neomycin phosphotransferase gene. The regeneration succeeded 65% in selective MS medium containing N6-benzylaminopurine (600 µg/l), β-naphthoxyacetic acid (25 µg/l) and 50mg/l kanamycin in inoculated 4-day-old cotyledonary explants. According to the polymerase chain reaction analysis of neomycin phosphotransferase II gene, transformation was merely successful (8.4%), indicating a substantial miss on a large number of regenerated plants in the selective medium, as a consequence of PGR and antibiotic imbalances. Inter Single Sequence Repeat markers and flow cytometry analyses were used for evaluating the genetic stability and ploidy level of transplants, respectively. The integrated approach underlined that Agrobacterium inoculation and plant growth regulators were successfully combined in vitro to enable muskmelon transformation.

SummaryWe studied the effect of GPIIb/IIIa-inhibitors on platelet activation with flow cytometry in vitro. Citrated whole blood was incubated with increasing concentrations of three different GPIIb/IIIa-inhibitors (c7E3, DMP728, XJ757), then thrombin or ADP were added and after 1 min the sample was fixed. Samples without c7E3 but with 0.1 U/ml thrombin had a decrease in platelet count. Samples with increasing concentrations of c7E3 had a lesser or no decrease in platelet count. The two other inhibitors (DMP 725, XJ757) gave similar results. GPIIb/IIIa-inhibitors prevent aggregate formation and more single platelets remain in the blood sample. The agonist-induced decrease in platelet count correlates closely with the concentration of the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor and receptor occupancy. This correlation may be used as a simple measure for inhibitor activity in whole blood.

Objetivos: avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana em extrato aquoso, hidroalcoólico e alcoólico das folhas de espécies da família Lamiaceae frente a bactérias de interesse. Método: Foram escolhidas quatro espécies: Ocimum gratissimum, Plectranthus amboinicus, Mentha arvensis e Plectranthus barbatus. A partir das folhas foram confeccionados os extratos aquoso, hidroalcoólico e alcoólico nas concentrações 100mg/mL, 50mg/mL e 25mg/mL. Foram selecionadas as bactérias Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus e Pseudomonas aeruginosa para os ensaios de antibiose em Ágar Mueller-Hinton. Resultados: P. barbatus, em seu extrato hidroalcoólico mostrou ativo nas três concentrações para bactéria S. aureus, e ainda foi ativo para P. aeruginosa, demonstrando no extrato alcoólico atividade frente as bactérias. Para M. arvensis e P. amboinicus, seus extratos hidroalcoólico e alcoólico apresentaram atividade para S. aureus. Conclusão: Sugere-se que as espécies em questão apresentem boa atividade antimicrobiana, sendo necessária a realização de mais estudos para melhor entender esse mecanismo.
