Radiation induced alterations in Vigna radiata during in vitro somatic embryogenesis.

Purpose: Tissue culture has been exploited to understand molecular aspects of regeneration potential of the plants in normal and in stressed conditions. The present study describes ionizing radiation from (60)Co source as the stress stimulator to assess in vitro development of somatic embryo of Vigna radiata, a protein-rich pulse.

Materials And Methods: Callus culture was established, using leaves of V.

An interesting rare case of sirenomelia.

In sirenomelia the caudal tissues of the foetus fail to develop because of the "stealing" of blood by a vitelline vascular shunt from the distal aorta during embryogenesis interfering with foetal development.
