This study on the plant of Ain –AL Bason Catharanthus roseous showed the ability of callus cells that is produced by In Vitro culture technique and transformed to the accumulated media (MS 40gm/L sucrose ,2gm/L IAA Indole acetic acid , 0.5gm/L Tryptophan) to produce Vinblastine and Vincristine compounds. Extraction, purification and quantitive determination of Vinblastine and Vincristine compounds using High performance liquid chromatography technique (HPLC)were carried out. The results showed that the highest concentration of Vinblastine and Vincristine compounds were ( 4.653,12.5 (ppm /0.5 dry Wight respectively from transformed callus cells from MS 40 gm /L sucrose , 2 gm / L NAA Naphthaline acetic acid .

The use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as protein supplementation in IVP of bovine embryos has presented difficulties because it can introduce a number of pathogenic components in culture systems, can be related to the birth of calf with abnormal growth and development, and precludes the establishment of the actual nutritional needs of the embryo, because it contains an unlimited variety of substances. This study evaluated the replacement of the FBS in the medium of in vitro culture (IVC) of bovine embryos, using the knockout serum replacer (KSR) as protein supplementation and culture medium conditioned with stem cells. Therefore, bovine oocytes from ovaries of slaughterhouse were selected and matured in vitro in TCM-199 medium supplemented with 10% FBS (Crypion), 1.0 μg mL-1 FSH (Pluset®, Calier, Barcelona, Spain), 50 μg mL-1 hCG (Profasi®, Serono, Geneva, Switzerland), 1.0 μg mL-1 estradiol (Sigma E-2758, Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO, USA), 0.2 mM sodium pyruvate, and 83.4 μg mL-1 amikacin for 24 h. After that, 1144 oocytes were fertilized in IVF-TALP medium containing 6 mg mL-1 of BSA. After 18 to 22 h, the zygotes were cultured in SOF + 5% FBS (group 2); SOF + 5% KSR (group 3); SOF (5% FBS) + 10% SOF (5% FBS) conditioned by stem cells (group 4); or SOF (5% KSR) + 10% SOF (5% KSR) conditioned by stem cells (group 5), in an atmosphere of 5% O2 at 38.5°C for 8 days. A control group outside the controlled atmosphere was added, supplemented with 5% FBS (group 1). The SOF medium supplemented with 5% FBS or KSR was conditioned by stem cells and added to SOF medium for the culture of embryo at a concentration of 10%. The rates of cleavage and production of blastocysts were assessed 48 hours and 7 days after IVF, respectively, and analyzed by chi-square test, with a significance level of 5% in the statistical program Minitab® (release 14.1, Minitab, State College, PA, USA). On the eighth day, the TUNEL test for determination of the percentage of apoptosis and the differential staining technique for determination of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophoblast (TF) were performed. The results were submitted to ANOVA, followed by comparing the means by Tukey’s test using the program GraphPad Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA, USA). The treatments did not differ in the production of embryos, being similar to the control group: G1 = 31.75% (74/233), G2 = 35.26% (79/224), G3 = 32.70% (74/226), G4 = 28.76% (63/219), and G5 = 26.85% (65/242). With regard to the assessment of embryonic quality, the treatments showed similar results to the control groups. No differences were observed among groups both in color and ICM/TF ratio (G1 = 0.60, G2 = 0.62, G3 =0.65, G4 = 0.60, and G5 = 0.60). Furthermore, the TUNEL showed no significant difference in the percentage of apoptosis among groups (G1 = 7.10%, G2 = 3.76%, G3 = 5.58%, G4 = 4.50%, and G5 = 4.11%). The data obtained so far indicate that it is possible to produce embryos in vitro by replacing the FBS in the culture, achieving results similar to those obtained with serum.

<p>Flowering of plants is controlled by hormones among which both stimulators and inhibitors are present. The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in flower induction of the short day plant <em>Pharbitis nil</em> was shown in our experiments through exogenous applications and endogenous level determination of the hormone in cotyledons of seedlings grown under special light conditions.</p><p>The application of ABA to cotyledons or shoot apices during the first half of a 24-h long inductive night inhibits flowering. The same compound applied towards the end of or after a 14-h long subinductive night increases the number of flower buds produced by these plants.</p><p>Exposing <em>P. nil</em> seedlings at the beginning of a 24-h long inductive night to far red light (FR) decreases the level of endogenous abscisic acid in cotyledons and leads to flower inhibition. However, a pulse of red light (R) reversing the inhibitory effect of far red light on the flowering of <em>P. nil</em> increases the ABA content.</p><p>The results obtained confirm previous observations that ABA may play a dual and an important role in the regulation of floral bud formation in <em>P. nil</em>. The flowering occurs when the level of endogenous abscisic acid is low at the beginning and is high toward the end of the inductive night.</p>
