Abstract:
Shoot proliferation was obtained from shoot tip and nodal bud explants ofSyzygium alternifolium (Wight) walp on modified Murashige and Skoogs medium (MS) supplemented with either BA, KN or AD alone or BA in combination with either IAA, NAA or IBA. A combination of BA and auxins produced more shoots from both types of explants than on the medium containing only cytokinins. The highest multiplication rate was achieved with nodal bud explants in presence of 17.7μM BA and 2.6μM NAA. Excised shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium with either IAA or IBA. The regenerated plantlets have been successfully acclimatized and transferred to soil. About 70% of plantlets have survived underex vitro conditions.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
