Aim. To find out the biochemical peculiarities of Acorus calamus L of the two genotypes, acquired from different populations, an analysis of phenolic compounds in explant tissues and in nutrient medium in vitro was conducted. Methods. Plants, acquired by microclonal multiplication were studied. To detect general phenol content, Folin–Ciocalteu reagent was used, for flavonoid content - zirconium chloride crystallohydrate nitrate (IV). Xanthone content was identified by Vysochina G.I. and Kukushkina T.A. methods with our own modifications. The extracts were studied using spectrophotometric measurements. Results. Tissues of A. calamus and the nutrient medium contained different amount of phenolic compounds, depending on parent plant origin and in vitro cultivation duration. Conclusions. Since the explants were cultivated in identical conditions, the difference of phenolic compound content both in tissues and nutrient medium indicates genetic variability of A. calamus plants on population level. Key words. Acorus calamus, culture in vitro, phenols, flavonoids, xanthones.

In vitro cultivation of basil allows the manipulation of the concentration of certain micronutrients, commonly neglected by the micropropagation protocols. It is a plant of great economic importance for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry, due to the components present in its essential oil. In view of the above, the objective of this study was to evaluate zinc (Zn) concentrations in the micropropagation of basil, in addition to antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds. Basil seeds, cultivars Manolo and Grecco Palla were oxygenated for 4 h, passed through asepsis and placed in test tubes with MS medium supplemented with 30 g L-1 sucrose and 6.5 g L-1 agar and pH adjusted to 5.8. The treatments were composed by the addition or not of 25 μM of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and arranged in a completely randomized design. The tubes containing the seeds and the culture medium were kept in a growth chamber for 90 days. The cultivar Manolo was more sensitive to the addition of ZnSO4 due to the increase in the number of leaves and in the antioxidant activity, however, the addition of this component in the culture medium did not influence the production of phenolic compounds or the activity of the antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and APX.

Observation of Schistosoma mansoni oviposition during in vitro culture of adult worms for a maximum period of 10 days showed three well distinct phases in the kinetics of oviposition: an initial phase with low egg production, a period of maximum oviposition and finally a progressive reduction in the number of eggs during the late phases of culture. The kinetics of oviposition and the number of eggs laid by the parasites are influenced by the number of worm pairs per amount of RPMI 1640 medium, time of parasite development in the vertebrate host and type of serum utilized in the culture medium.

SummaryLarvae of Taenia pisiformis were cultured in vitro in medium containing 2·5, 5 or 20% (v/v) of normal rabbit serum (NRS). Greatest development occurred in 20% NRS, and the potency of antigens collected in medium from each culture tested by intradermal (i/d) skin tests in infected rabbits paralleled the in vitro growth rate of larvae. ‘Culture’ antigens from 5% NRS stimulated good immunity in rabbits to a challenge infection with T. pisiformis eggs, although they were poorly reactive in skin tests.T. pisiformis larvae were also cultured in 10% (v/v) of nitrates of serum reduced to one-half of its volume by passage through 300 000 MW cut oif (XM300F) or 100000 MW cut off (XM100F) ultrafiltration membranes. Larvae cultured using XM300F had growth rates comparable with those cultured in 20% NRS, and the antigens released into the culture medium had equal potency in i/d tests and in stimulating protective immunity in rabbits. Larvae did not develop in XM100F orproduce skin-reactive or protective antigens.Crude ‘culture’ antigen from cultures in 20% NRS was separated into 4 fractions by nitration on Sephadex G200. All of these fractions gave i/d skin reactions in infected rabbits. Fraction 3 (F3) was the most active, but was shown by acrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis to be highly contaminated with rabbit serum proteins. F3 was separated into fractions on DEAE-Sephadex A50, and the third fraction from this was as active as the original culture medium in i/d skin tests, but had only 5% of the original protein concentration. Electrophoresis demonstrated few serum contaminants, and 2 indistinct protein bands that were not present in a similar fraction of NRS.Neither Sephadex G200 F3 nor DEAE-Sephadex F3 stimulated protective immunity in rabbits, suggesting that antigens stimulating immunity against the establishment of T. pisiformis in rabbits and those provoking cell-mediated immune reactions may be different.

1. A method has been developed which allows the continuous growth of pure strains of fibroblasts, epithelium, and leucocytes in a medium which undergoes but slight spontaneous deterioration. 2. The principle of the method is to leave the tissues undisturbed while the medium is changed. This was realized by special containers allowing the change of the medium without bacterial contamination and by the simultaneous use of a solid and a fluid medium. 3. The curve of growth of pure cultures of fibroblasts and epithelial cells in a nutrient medium is a parabola; in a non-nutrient medium, it is S-shaped and expresses the residual activity of the tissues. Leucocytes invade the culture medium progressively, as do bacteria, but never aggregate in a tissue. 4. The method is used for the study of the morphological and dynamic changes occurring in tissues under the influence of chemical and physical factors.

The objetive of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding two types of banana pulp, combined with varying concentrations of sacarose on the growth of Cattleya sp. plantlets. Hybrid LCTV-01 seedlings (Cattleya labiata rubra x Cattleya labiata semi alba) made to germinate in vitro were inoculated in an MS culture medium with half the concentration of nutrients and supplemented with 60 g.L-1 'maçã' or 'terra' banana pulp in addition to different concentrations of sacarose (10, 20 and 30 g.L-1. The entirely randomized experimental design was chosen, implemented in seven treatments, ten repetitions and eight seedlings per repetition. After 160 days of in vitro cultivation, variables of fresh weight, number of leaves, number of roots and length of the longest root were evaluated. It was found that the addition of banana pulp of any of the analyzed cultivars promoted better seedling growth. Additionally, the 20 g.L-1 sacarose concentration yielded better results for the analyzed variables.

Under the influence of plant hormones, after 8 weeks of in vitro culture, the growth of breadfruit shoot (Artocarpus altilis (Park.) Fosberg) was very different. With shoots that were cultured on 1 mg/L BA medium after 10 days of being transferred to ½ MS supplemented with 10 mg/L BA medium, the percentage of shoot development was the highest (86.8 %), and the secretion of phenolic compounds or forming callus were not observed. On the ½ MS supplemented with 12 mg/L BA medium, shoots growed strongly and healthily but the secretion of phenolic compounds and the forming of callus affected the ability of the shoot development. On the ½ MS supplemented with 0.45 mg/L BA, 0.6 mg/L Kinetin (Kin) medium and on the ½ MS supplemented with 0.45 mg/L BA, 0.6 mg/L Kin, 0.35 mg/L GA3 medium, the percentage of shoot developed were lower than those on the ½ MS supplemented with 10 mg/L medium. The addition of 0.35 mg/L GA3 in the culture medium help to appear the lateral more than the remaining experiments. Roles of respiration rate and endogenous hormones were discussed to understand the physiological changes in the in vitro culture shoots breadfruit.

Abstract. The aim of these studies was to introduce into the in vitro culture the steppe cherry (Cerasus fruticosa) variety Shchedraya and the domestic plum (Prunus domestica) variety Sineokaya for subsequent micropropagation. Methods. Optimal conditions for obtaining viable explants, such as sterilizing agent and initiation time, have been investigated. The suitability of various nutrient media for in vitro cultivation of these cultures has also been tested. As a result of the experiments, it was revealed that the most effective sterilizing agents were 38 % perhydrol (control) and 6% chlorhexidine: the yield of viable cherry explants was 63.8 % and 61.5 %, plums – 69.8 % and 66.6 %, respectively. The optimal time for the initiation of cherry explants in vitro was January, where the yield of viable explants averaged 53.9 %, in June – 49.1 %, and for plums the initiation time did not matter – the yield of explants was 55.8 % in winter and 53.1 % in summer. In vitro cultivation of cherries and plums on the Quoirin – Lepoivre nutrient medium provided a significantly high multiplication factor, which averaged 4.1 for cherries (2.7 in control) and 6.0 for plums (3.9 in control). On the same medium, the maximum multiplication factor was obtained, which was 6.2 for cherries and 8.2 for plums. Thus, the scientific novelty of these studies is that the optimal conditions (sterilizing agent, time, nutrient medium) have been selected for the regeneration of cherry and plum explants in vitro with their subsequent micropropagation.

The research was carried out on the basis of laboratory biotechnologies of All-Russian research institute of flax (Tver region) in 2010–2012, 2016. The aim of the work was to determine the amino acid and protein composition of culture filtrates of the anthracnose pathogen fungus Colletotrichum lini Manns et Bolley in order to adjust the concentration of selective agent in the nutrient medium when creating in vitro new flax genotypes resistant to anthracnose. It was established that the culture filtrates of strains 527 and 608 contain such amino acids as alanine, glycine, asparagine, cysteine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, as well as arginine in strain 527 and traces of tyrosine and lysine in strain 608. It was established that the concentration of amino acids in EC of strain 527 was significantly higher than in culture filtrate of strain 608. It was shown that the toxicity of the culture filtrate depended on the degree of aggressiveness of the anthracnose pathogen strain – culture filtrate of a strongly aggressive strain is more toxic than the culture filtrate of a weakly aggressive strain. Studies have revealed that when cultivating the fungus-causative agent of anthracnose on a nutrient medium, as the mycelium of fungus grew, the concentrations of asparagine, alanine, aspartic and glutamic acids, and glycine decreased in the culture filtrates. It was established that the change in amount of proteins happened during the entire period of cultivation of the mycelium of fungus on a liquid nutrient medium. It is shown that accumulation and content of proteins in culture filtrates of strains of different aggressiveness occurs in different ways. The more aggressive strain is (639), which is more toxic, contains and accumulates more proteins in the culture medium during the entire period of growth and development the less aggressive strain is (419).

Tormogen Cell

The large bristles of flies sclerotize and melanize during the pupal phase well before the rest of the cuticle. Each bristle is the product of two cells, the trichogen cell and the tormogen cell. Both their nuclei exhibit analyzable polytene chromosomes. The pupal metathoracic integument of Lucilia sericata has been excised and cultivated in Schneider's Drosophila medium for extended periods of time. Among the differentiations taking place in vitro, the most obvious is the stiffening and coloring of the bristles. The in vitro differentiation very much resembles the in vivo differentiation in its timing and appearance. Explants excised early in pupal development cannot differentiate in vitro, while those excised and cultured at later stages can. Actinomycin D was administered to the culture medium and the incorporation of [3H]uridine was analyzed after long incubations to determine if this process was a reaction of dead cuticle or controlled by living cells. The analysis of chromosome structure and puffing patterns in the five polytene chromosomes of the trichogen cell after in vitro cultivation shows that transcriptional activity is not dependent on the existence of normal chromosome conformation. The degree of pycnotic reaction and puff induction of the nuclei, however, varied under different culture conditions. The capacity of this system for differentiation can be used to study in vitro chromosomal activity during the course of development.Key words: in vitro, polytene chromosomes, sclerotization, cuticle.

Optimization of the in vitro sporulation of Frankia is a prerequisite for the development of spore preparations as a practical inoculum for actinorhizal plants. The in vitro sporulation of Frankia strain HFPCcI3 previously isolated from Casuarina cunninghamiana was increased from 0 to 12 million spores per millilitre of culture medium when nitrogen and phosphorus were excluded from a defined nutrient medium. The same medium did not increase sporulation of Frankia isolates HFPAr13 from Alnus rubra and HFPCpI1 from Comptonia peregrina. The addition of 10 mM aliphatic L amino acids increased the in vitro sporulation of HFPCcI3 by as much as 39% when grown in a defined nutrient medium with 1 mM potassium phosphate lacking ammonium chloride, whereas the addition of 10 mM acidic, basic, aromatic, and sulfur amino acids decreased sporulation. The in vitro sporulation of HFPCcI3 was inhibited by culture at 33 °C relative to culture at 23 and 28 °C. Rotary shaking at 100 rpm increased sporulation at the low culture temperatures. Key words: actinorhizal, Casuarina, Frankia, HFPCcI3, sporulation.
