Improvement and Validation of a Genomic DNA Extraction Method for Human Breastmilk.

The human milk microbiota (HMM) of healthy women can vary substantially, as demonstrated by recent advances in DNA sequencing technology. However, the method used to extract genomic DNA (gDNA) from these samples may impact the observed variations and potentially bias the microbiological reconstruction. Therefore, it is important to use a DNA extraction method that is able to effectively isolate gDNA from a diverse range of microorganisms.

Somatic embryogenesis from leaf explants of L.

is an asteraceous plant of industrial, ornamental and medicinal importance; its inflorescences have been used as a pigment source for food coloring, mainly for poultry skin and eggs. Nevertheless, there are few reports on plant regeneration or micropropagation, because unsuccesfull results in the plant's reaction to the growth regulators, developing embryogenesis on . In this study, somatic embryogenesis was induced and plantlets of were regenerated.
