Initiation of tissue culture of many plant species is a very difficult stage due to appearance of many contaminations. The other problem might be a choice of media for regeneration. Initiation of grass species tissue cultures are thought to be very difficult. Therefore, a research was undertaken to evaluate the use of nano-silver particles for plant material disinfection and to estimate a medium Pennisetum alopecuroides. The plant material were buds and nodal explants that were disinfected in 2% NaOCl for 30 min or 0.1% HgCl2 for 1 min. Half of the explants disinfected with NaOCl were soaked in 50, 100 or 250 mg·dm Ag–3 NPs for 1 hour. Explants not soaked in nano-silver were placed on media with Ag NPs at concentrations of 4, 8 or 16 mg·dm–3. An influence of growth regulators on Pennisetum alopecuroides was evaluated in vitro. Regenerated shoots were placed on MS media with: 3 mg·dm–3 BA + 0.3 mg·dm–3 IBA, 3 mg·dm–3 KIN + 0.3 mg·dm–3 IAA, 1 mg·dm–3 BA + 0.1 mg·dm–3 IBA. It was observed that the use of nano-silver particles lowered the level of contamination. The best results were obtained when Ag NPs was used at concentration of 100–250 mg·dm–3 alone or as a supplementation of the media, at concentration of 4 mg·dm–3 for nodes and 16 mg·dm–3 for adventitious buds. The use of nodal explants allowed to obtain less contamination. Regeneration depended on a media content. The most regenerated shoots were obtained on the MS media supplemented with 1 mg·dm–3 BA and 0.1 mg·dm–3 IBA.

An efficient mass propagation method for Feronia limonia was developed from excised shoot tips and nodal explants of in vitro grown seedlings. Explants were cultured on MS medium with different conc. of NAA, Kn, IAA and BAP singly or in combinations. Highest number of micro shoots and better plant growth were obtained from these two explants on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l BAP alone. The regenerated shoots were successfully rooted on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA. The in vitro raised plantlets were successfully established in soil following the formation of roots with 100% survivability under ex vitro condition.

Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced and transplanted rat mammary tumours (2 lines) were examined for oestrogen receptor activity, and for sensitivity to hormones in vivo (by ovariectomy) and in vitro (by tissue culture). In vivo, the growth of all tumours induced by the administration of DMBA in random-bred Sprague–Dawley rats was found to be dependent on the ovary, whilst in all transplanted tumours (12 TG-3 and six TG-5 lines), maintained in an inbred strain of Sprague–Dawley rats, growth was found to be independent of the ovary. In vitro, the capacity for DNA synthesis in DMBA-induced tumours was better maintained after 24 h when insulin (10 μg/ml) and corticosterone (5 μg/ml) or insulin, corticosterone and prolactin (each 5 μg/ml) were present in the medium (five out of 12 and eight out of 11 tumours respectively); no effect of hormones in the media was detected after 48 h. In the transplanted tumours, no effect of hormones on DNA synthesis was detected after either 24 or 48 h of culture. Synthesis of lecithin was not detectably influenced by the presence of hormones in either DMBA-induced or transplanted tumours. Oestrogen receptor concentrations were, on average, significantly higher in the DMBA-induced tumours than in either line of transplanted tumour. For 22 DMBA-induced tumours and 15 transplanted tumours, the effect of hormones in vitro (`response') was directly correlated with receptor concentration at time 0 (Spearman's ρ = + 0·59) and inversely correlated with the rate of DNA synthesis (`basal') at time 0 (Spearman's ρ = −0·62). No single parameter or pair of parameters permitted accurate distinction between the tumour types.

The search for the occurrence of somaclonal variation of in vitro shoots and acclimatized plants of a hybrid larch (Larix × urolepis Henry) clone was performed by the analysis of eight isozyme systems. Cultures were established from short shoot buds of mature material. The effects of growth regulators in the media, subculture intervals, and periods in culture were analyzed for in vitro shoots. Variability was found in in vitro shoots but appeared to be related to a physiological response to culture conditions. Once acclimatized, most tissuecultured plants expressed the same enzymatic patterns as those of control plants (stecklings and the ortet). The variations observed for some acclimatized plants were also observed in control plants and were not related to ontogenic stage. Results from the isoenzymatic systems studied showed that hybrid larch plants regenerated from tissue culture were not significantly different from stecklings and the ortet.

Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) composites were prepared with nano silver particles with the weight ratios of nano silver particles to PLLA (Ag/PLLA) at 0.5%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w). In vitro cytotoxicity tests were conducted firstly to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the composites. The results indicated that PLLA, 0.5%, 2.5% and 5% Ag/PLLA composites were nontoxic to cells, while 7.5% and 10% Ag/PLLA composites were significantly toxic to cells. Cell proliferation experiments and antibacterial tests were also performed. 5% Ag/PLLA was found the best for cell proliferation with obvious antibacterial property. Thus, Ag/PLLA can be used as nontoxic scaffolds for tissue engineering with antibacterial property.

One of problems in the Jabon propagation is the availability of seeds both quality and quantity. Tissue culture technology is one of the alternatives that can be used for the supply of  Jabonseeds to produce organs of plants (buds, leaves, roots). The success of plant tissue culture techniques is determined by the condition of explants, a supportive environment and the addition of growth regulators are expected to provide a response to the cultured explants. This study aimed to know the effect of Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) to  in vitro multiplication of Jabon. This research conducted at the Laboratory of Forestry Sciences, Faculty of Forestry, University of Tadulako from March to May 2015. Using a completely randomized design with treatments: 0.1 mg / l IAA + 1 mg / l BAP (JB1), 0.1 mg / l IAA + 1.5 mg / l BAP (JB2), 0.1 mg / l IAA + 2 mg / l BAP ( JB3) and 0.1 mg / l IAA + 2.5 mg / l BAP (JB4). Each treatment was repeated three times to obtain 12 experimental units. The results showed that the difference in response Jabon of treatment tested was the highest number of buds and leaves were in the media added 0.1 mg / l IAA + 1.5 mg / l BAP. Furthermore, the formation of callus obtained in media which added 0.1 mg / l IAA + 1 mg / l BAP.

In vitro asymbiotic seed germination, subculture, and outplanting of orchids is presented as a laboratory exercise suitable for students of plant propagation or tissue culture. Dendrobium antennatum (Lindley), Phalaenopsis (Blume) white hybrid, or both, are used in this exercise because they flower predictably in the greenhouse, are reliable for seed production, and germinate and grow rapidly in vitro. The exercises can be used to instruct students in the skills involved in orchid seed sterilization, sowing, and culture, as well as instruct students in the unique features of orchid reproductive biology and symbiosis. A schedule is suggested for stock plant flower pollination, capsule harvest, seed sowing, and seedling subculture so that the necessary plant material is available for students to sow, subculture, and outplant seedlings during a single laboratory session.
