An investigation on the constituents of the callus tissues of Ternstroemia gymnanthera has led to the isolation of five phytosterols, 15 known triterpenoids, and four new triterpenoids (1-4). The new compounds were characterized by spectroscopic study as 3-epi-corosolic acid lactone (2 alpha,3 alpha-dihydroxyurs-11-en-13 beta,28-olide) (1), 3-epi-ternstroemic acid (2 alpha,3 alpha-dihydroxyurs-12-en-11-on-28-oic acid) (2), ternstroemic acid (2 alpha,3 beta-dihydroxyurs-12-en-11-on-28-oic acid) (3), and gymnantheraic acid (2 alpha,3 alpha-dihydroxy-11 alpha-methoxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid) (4). The isolated triterpenes were compared with those from actinidiaceous plant callus tissues from a chemotaxonomic point of view.

Producing homogeneous planting material in oil palm poses a significant challenge, which can be addressed through somatic embryogenesis. This study successfully achieved somatic embryogenesis using immature male inflorescence from Tenera hybrid. Modified Eeuwens medium yielded better results than the Murashige and Skoog (MS) and CHU (N6) media when supplemented with 2,4-D, picloram and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

A common strategy for promoting bone allograft healing is the design of tissue-engineered periosteum (TEP) to orchestrate host-tissue infiltration. However, evaluating requires costly and time-consuming in vivo studies. Therefore, in vitro assays are necessary to expedite TEP designs.

Plants possess remarkable regenerative abilities to form de novo vasculature after damage and in response to pathogens that invade and withdraw nutrients. To look for common factors that affect vascular formation upon stress, we searched for Arabidopsis thaliana genes differentially expressed upon Agrobacterium infection, nematode infection and plant grafting. One such gene was cell wall related and highly induced by all three stresses and was named ENHANCED XYLEM AND GRAFTING1 (EXG1) since mutations in it promoted ectopic xylem formation in Vascular cell Induction culture System Using Arabidopsis Leaves (VISUAL) and enhanced graft formation.

Objective: This study aimed to report the clinical, radiographic, and computed tomography results of supracutaneous locking plate (SLP) application in radial-ulnar and tibial fractures.
Study Design: In this clinical prospective study, cats and dogs with nonarticular radial, ulnar, and tibial fractures were managed with SLP. Surgical records, fracture healing, complications, and lameness were reviewed during scheduled rechecks.

Flax is an important crop used for oil and fiber production. Although genetic engineering has been possible in flax, it is not commonly used to produce cultivars. However, the use of genome editing technology, which can produce site-specific mutations without introducing foreign genes, may be a valuable tool for creating elite cultivars that can be easily cultivated.
