Callus was induced from isolated gladiolus cormel stem tips on modified Murashige and Skoog media. The callus was then induced to differentiate virus-symptomless plants with corms. Morphogenesis from the callus included meristematic zones on or within the callus, organoids with vascular tissue, stems, leaves, and plants with roots. Callus production and differentiation of plants were more frequent on agar than in liquid media.

The emergence of infectious diseases, particularly staphylococcal infections, treatment failures and the more high cost of treatment of infections caused by resistant staphylococci called to find other care alternatives. This study was initiated to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the aqueous extract from Garcinia kola almonds on the in vitro growth of Staphylococcus aureus strains. The methods of diffusion in agar and liquid media were used for susceptibility testing and MIC and MBC determination. The tests were performed on four strains of S. aureus and one reference strain. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the extracts ranged from 3.12 mg/mL and 12.5 mg/mL and the minimum bactericidal concentrations between 6.25 mg/mL and 25 mg/mL. The lowest value of MIC and MBC was observed with S. aureus ATCC 29213 while the greatest value of these same parameters was obtained on S. aureus 993C/18 and S. aureus 1075C/18. The aqueous almonds extract of Garcinia kola had a bactericidal activity on all the strains of S. aureus studied. This could justify the use of Garcinia kola almonds in the treatment of various diseases in traditional society.

The histological events leading to shoot formation in Nicotiana glauca and in the nontumorous Nicotiana glauca × Nicotiana langsdorffii hybrid have been studied. Organized development begins from a single vacuolated parenchyma cell which divides and precociously differentiates tracheidal cells, forming a growth center with nodular structures with xylem in the center and phloem outside. The vascular tissue is precociously separated from the surrounding callus by a layer of cells which are shown to be endodermal by position and by histochemical reactions. Further growth leads to the formation of a mound of meristematic tissue which later forms shoot apical meristems. The sequences of events are discussed in relation to other known systems of regeneration in calluses.The system described could be suitable for evaluating the effects of various physical and chemical agents on the different steps of differentiation.

In vitro growth of banana, Musa sp., using a modified Murashige and Skoog liquid medium was compared with the same formulation solidified by the addition of agar. Plants grown on the stationary liquid weighed more and had a higher multiplication rate. The best volume of liquid and number of plants per vessel were determined. Four hundred plants grown in liquid media were studied for one year after planting in the field. Flowering occurred at 7 months and harvesting 3 months later. The mutation rate observed was below 5%.

Microshoot and callus cultures of Cornus florida (flowering dogwood), which were grown on woody plant medium amended with BA, were inoculated with Microsphaera pulchra (an obligate plant parasite) by gently shaking infected leaves bearing numerous conidia over the tissue. Culture dishes were sealed with parafilm and incubated at 24 °C with 25 mol·m–2·s–1 provided by cool fluorescent bulbs for 15 h. Cultures were examined with a dissecting scope every 24 h and cultures transferred when contaminating fungi were present. Specimens were prepared light microscopy and SEM. The fungus infected individual callus cells, but did not sporulate. In contrast, powdery mildew was well-established (both primary and secondary hyphae) in 70% of the microshoot cultures after 6 days and sporulated on 20% by 7 to 8 days. The cellular relationship between host and pathogen in vitro was similar to that found in greenhouse-grown plants. This technique has possible applications in maintaining fungal culture collections and studying host–pathogen relationships under more stringently controlled conditions.

Treatment of cardiovascular disease has achieved great success using artificial implants, particularly synthetic-polymer made grafts. However, thrombus formation and restenosis are the current clinical problems need to be conquered. New biomaterials, modifying the surface of synthetic vascular grafts, have been created to improve long-term patency for the better hemocompatibility. The vascular biomaterials can be fabricated from synthetic or natural polymers for vascular tissue engineering. Stem cells can be seeded by different techniques into tissue-engineered vascular grafts in vitro and implanted in vivo to repair the vascular tissues. To overcome the thrombogenesis and promote the endothelialization effect, vascular biomaterials employing nanotopography are more bio-mimic to the native tissue made and have been engineered by various approaches such as prepared as a simple surface coating on the vascular biomaterials. It has now become an important and interesting field to find novel approaches to better endothelization of vascular biomaterials. In this article, we focus to review the techniques with better potential improving endothelization and summarize for vascular biomaterial application. This review article will enable the development of biomaterials with a high degree of originality, innovative research on novel techniques for surface fabrication for vascular biomaterials application.
