Lemon pistil explants were obtained by cutting just above the region of the hypogynous disc (A type explant) or at the base of the pistil (B type explant) and cultured on test medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 g sucrose/L, 100 mg myo-inositol/L, 5 mg thiamine–HCl/L, and 0.5 mg kinetin/L, plus or minus supplements. Under appropriate conditions an abscission zone formed and styles abscised after 6–8 days of culture; in the field stylar abscission occurred 12–15 days postanthesis. Abscission in A type explants was markedly inhibited by 9 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid but was unaffected by indole-3-acetic, 1-naphthaleneacetic, gibberellic, abscisic, caffeic, or p-coumaric acids. The response to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was reduced in B type explants. In an atmosphere containing 35–200 ppm ethylene, cell division occurred in the zone of stylar abscission producing a proliferating callus, and the content of cellulase increased from 0.6 to 53.7 enzyme units/g fresh weight compared with fresh explants. Stylar abscission was inhibited by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in A type explants of Washington navel orange, Valencia orange, and mandarin pistils, but not of grapefruit pistils. B type explants of Washington navel orange and mandarin pistils were less responsive to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.

Citrus is an important genius for economy and human health but a susceptible genius against biotic and abiotic stresses, so it needs to improved programs. Different basal media (MS, ½MA, ?MS and DKW) and different kind and concentrations of plant growth regulators i.e. BA, KIN, 2ip, ZE and TDZ (0 – 2 mg/l) and NAA, IAA and IBA (0 – 2 mg/l) added with 30 g/l sucrose, 3 g/l active charcoal and 7.5 g/l bacteriological agar] were used for organogenesis include shooting and rooting, also callusing from nodal explant of Citrus latifolia. MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l BA, and 0.01 mg/l NAA is the best media for multiple shoot induction on nodal explants and elongation of them. Other cytokinins had not significant effects on shoot induction and multiplication. Using of 0.01 mg/l IBA instead of 0.01 mg/l NAA on medium with 1 mg/l BA, led to multiple shoot induction on nodal explant indirectly. Rooting was induced on DKW medium plus 1.5 mg/l NAA in the best way compared another media. Both direct and indirect organogenesis (multiple shoot induction) were carried out on media with very similar contents. So we can use very simple and practical methods tissue culture for different improved programs in Citrus genius genius.

The morphologic pathologist may require information on the ultrastructure of a non-specific lesion seen under the light microscope before he can make a specific determination. Such lesions, when caused by infectious disease agents, may be sparsely distributed in any organ system. Tissue culture systems, too, may only have widely dispersed foci suitable for ultrastructural study. In these situations, when only a few, small foci in large tissue areas are useful for electron microscopy, it is advantageous to employ a methodology which rapidly selects a single tissue focus that is expected to yield beneficial ultrastructural data from amongst the surrounding tissue. This is in essence what "LIFTING" accomplishes. We have developed LIFTING to a high degree of accuracy and repeatability utilizing the Microlift (Fig 1), and have successfully applied it to tissue culture monolayers, histologic paraffin sections, and tissue blocks with large surface areas that had been initially fixed for either light or electron microscopy.

Despite extensive studies, the correlation between the morphology and pathogenicity of murine leukemia viruses (MLV) has not yet been clarified. The virus particles found in the plasma of leukemic mice belong to 2 distinct groups, 1 or 2% of them being enveloped A particles and the vast majority being of type C. It is generally believed that these 2 types of particles represent different phases in the development of the same virus. Particles of type A have been thought to be an earlier form of type C particles. One of the tissue culture lines established from Friend leukemia solid tumors has provided the material for the present study. The supernatant fluid of the line designated C-1A contains an almost pure population of A particles as illustrated in Figure 1. The ratio is, therefore, the reverse of what is unvariably observed in the plasma of leukemic mice where C particles predominate.

During a study of the development of infectious laryngotracheitis (LT) virus in tissue culture cells, unusual tubular formations were found in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of the affected cells. It is the purpose of this report to describe the morphologic characteristics of the tubules and to discuss their possible association with the development of virus.The source and maintenance of the strain of LT virus have been described. Prior to this study, the virus was passed several times in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) tissue culture cells.
