Published: August 2024

This article presents the results of the first study of the morphological and genetic diversity of 6 populations of Corydalis bracteata Pers. s. l., growing in plant communities of the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe, Western Sayan, Kuznetsk Alatau, Altai. The morphological analysis shows the division of the populations into two groups. A large elongated tuber near basal scales, large bracts and flowers, a large height of the plants unites the from the Krasnoyarsk and Western Sayan populations with a recently described species C. talpina Stepanov. These results are also confirmed by the ISSR-PCR analysis of the genetic variability of Corydalis populations. A high subdivision coefficient (Gst = 37.58%) indicates the presence of different species in the total sample. The division into two groups is also demonstrated when clustering the genotypes using the Bayesian approach implemented in the STRUCTURE 2.3.4 software. Phylogenetic analysis based on comparison of the nucleotide polymorphism of the matK chloroplast gene sequences and the rpoB-trnC intergenic spacer also has revealed differences in three nucleotides in the plant with an additional tuber. These substitutions are absent in the sequenced plants without nodules and in sequences of other species with tufts of tubers published in GenBank. Similar results of morphological and genetic analyzes prove the differentiation of populations of yellow-flowered Corydalis in South Siberia, originally assigned to the species C. bracteata, and indicate the morphological and genetic isolation of C. talpina.

As a result of an increase in the availability of resources that were not harmful to the environment, solar energy applications shot to popularity. Photovoltaic cells power systems that necessitate DC-DC converters because of their low voltage output. This investigation uses photovoltaic cells (PV) to power a high-voltage gain design with just one switch and no transformer. The proposed circuit utilizes a single regulated switch, which contributes to a reduction in switching losses. It requires fundamental pulse regulation. The network used a switched capacitor cell and an LC passive filter to provide an accurate step-up voltage. We can obtain the equation for the step-up voltage gain from the steady-state continuous conduction mode. The equations used for the theoretical design of converters include energy. To show that the topology is comparable with other modern converters that have been published, a comparison was made between it and other converters. In order to validate the converter's effectiveness, simulations built in MATLAB and Simulink are used.

Published: August 2024

The current research investigates the effects of adding metallic graphene oxide (GO) and non-metallic zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles to Mahua biodiesel blend (B20) on the combustion parameters of a diesel engine. GO and ZnO nanoparticles were utilized at a concentration of 75 mg/L, combined with a 1:1 mixture of the surfactant CTAB and the dispersant TWEEN 80. When nanoparticles were introduced to blended biofuel, combustion parameters such as cumulative heart rate, mean gas temperature, mass percent burnt, and rise of pressure increase (RoPR) greatly improved at higher injection pressures. When compared to clean diesel, utilizing B20+ZnO Nanoparticles+ NIS dispersant at 250 bar resulted in 6%, 15%, 7%, and 7.6% improvements in CHRR, MGT, MFB, and RoPR, respectively. The correlation coefficient (R2) for B20+ZnO NPs+ NIS (1:1) for CHRR, MGT, MFB and RoPR is 0.975, 0.978, 0.966 and 0.9883 when compared to GO nanoparticle inclusions, considering it as optimum combination and an efficient fuel. When compared to other fuel samples, the CHRR, MGT, MFB and RoPR for B20+ZnO NPs+ NIS are 2.484%, 3.2%, 2.6% and 1.25% higher, respectively, according to a statistical analysis conducted by design expert.

Металлдар 1930 жылдардан бастап авиация жасау үшін таңдаулы материал ретінде кеңінен қолданылады. Аэроғарыш өнеркәсібінде қолданылатын негізгі металдар легирленген және термиялық өңделген алюминийден титанға, магнийге және суперқорытпаларға дейін, соңғысы арнайы қолдануға арналған. Алайда, ұшақтың дизайнындағы өзгерістер, әсіресе қолданылатын материалдарға қатысты, 1970 жылдары композиттік материалдар коммерциялық ұшақтарға енгізілген кезде басталды. Композиттік материалдарды пайдаланудың артуының қозғаушы күштерінің бірі —  олардың салыстырмалы түрде жеңіл компоненттер мен аэродинамикалық жобаланған конструкцияларды жасау қабілеті, олар жоғары беріктігі мен өнімділігін сақтай отырып, жанармай шығындарын азайтады. Қауіпсіздік авиациядағы маңызды фактор болып табылады, сондықтан материалдарды таңдауға шешуші әсер етеді. Сондықтан, ұшақ дизайнына арналған материалдарды таңдағанда, салмақ пен беріктік сияқты құрылымдық параметрлерді, сондай-ақ сәтсіздік режимдері мен өнімділік сияқты қауіпсіздік факторларын ескеру қажет. Аэроғарыш өнеркәсібі көрсеткендей, композиттік материалдарға көшу кезінде салыстырмалы түрде жаңа материалдардың сәтсіздіктер мен зақымдануларға қалай әсер ететінін түсіну өте маңызды. Бұл мақалада SolidWorks ортасында композиттік материалдарды модельдеу мүмкіндіктерін көрсету үшін ұшақ қанатының дизайнының мысалы қолданылады.

Relevance. This article presents the results of a study ofthe effect offeeding different levels of concentrates on the rumen microbiota of sheep. Methods. The experiment was carried out on the basis of the physiological yard of the L.K. Ernst Federal Research Center for Animal Husbandry on Romanov sheep with chronic rumen fistulas according to Basov. The experiment was conducted using the method of groups of periods, the duration of each period is 30 days (n = 6). In the first period, the sheep received a hay-concentrate diet containing 20% concentrates, in the second — 30%, in the third — 40% of nutritional concentrates. At the end of each balance experiment, samples of ruminal contents were taken from all animals (n = 6) for a genetic study of the rumen microbiota. Results. Increasing concentrates to 40% resulted in a 6% and 7.5% reduction in total microbial mass compared with 20% and 30% concentrate diets, respectively. The amylolytic activity of the rumen after feeding gradually increased from 12.73 to 14.21 U/ml when the diet was changed to a more concentrated one. With an increase in the proportion of concentrates, the population of enterococci increases with a maximum at 30% of concentrates. The most intensive growth of the lactobacilli population is observed when feeding 30% concentrates (4.78∙105 CFU/ml versus 3.18∙105 CFU/ml at 40%). The ratio of QMAFAnM before and after feeding remained constant with a pronounced maximum at 30% concentrates. It was not possible to detect a consistent pattern in the change in the number of fungi in the rumen at different levels of concentrates in the diet. Metagenomic analysis showed an increase in the number of Lactobacillus spp., Bacteroides spp., Blautia spp., Streptococcus spp., Roseburia inulinivorans, Prevotella spp., with a decrease in the number of Bifidobacterium spp., Methanobrevibacter smithii, Methanosphaera stadmanae, Ruminococcus spp. in ruminal contents with an increase in concentrates by 20%, 30% and 40%.

Authors: Marandu Sr. Gotfrida , Malale Kija , Lasseir Rose , Sabuni Paul Alikado , Rambau Peter
Published: August 2024

Background: Early breast cancer detection is crucial for improving breast cancer outcomes. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is a valuable tool that can empower Catholic nuns to take charge of their health, particularly in constrained resource countries like Tanzania. This study aims to use the Health Belief Model (HBM) to predict SBE practices among Catholic nuns in Tanzania's Lake Zone.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design whereby a total of 385 catholic nuns were enrolled to participate in the study. The Health Beliefs Model (HBM) guided the study of the interrelated variables related to self-breast examination. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using Stata version 18.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to test for association at a 5% significant level.
Results: The prevalence of non-performance self-breast examination was 64.2% (95% CI, 59.1%-69.0%). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that nuns who are in the non-health field were more likely not to perform self-breast cancer examination with an AOR of 1.67 (95% CI, 1.02-2.73, p=0.041). Likewise, nuns with high barrier were more likely not to perform self-breast cancer examination with an AOR of 1.88 (95% CI, 1.17-3.02, p=0.009), also, an AOR of 2.25 (95% CI, 1.39-3.65, p=0.001) for nuns with low self-efficacy.
Conclusion: The study revealed that the HBM constructs can predict the SBE behavior of catholic nuns. In addition, educational health interventions are highly recommended to enhance SBE practice among this special group.

Published: August 2024

Background: Female breast cancer is one of the causes of the highest cancer mortality and morbidity in the world. It is already known that there is a strong association between smoking and breast cancer. However, the association between smoking and tumor severity is not very clear. The objective of this study was to assess the severity of the breast tumor, using the tumor's molecular classification as a tool according to its immunohistochemical profile in smoking and non-smoking women.
Methods: This is a longitudinal study in which 208 women with a diagnosis of breast cancer were followed for 17 months, 80 of whom were smokers and all underwent anatomopathological diagnosis by core biopsy and subsequent immunohistochemistry, followed by treatment indicated according to the type and the clinical staging of the tumor. The severity of the tumor was assessed by its molecular classification according to its immunohistochemical profile.
Results: Smoking was associated with higher mortality. The tumor with the most severe immunohistochemical profile was found in younger smokers. 19.7% of smokers had a triple negative tumor and 10% of non-smokers. The age of female smokers with triple negative was 48.2 years and of non-smoking women was 52.6 years (p = 0.005). In 17 months of follow-up, mortality among smokers was 39.5% and for nonsmokers, 20%. Survival was statistically significantly lower among the group of smokers (p=0.01).
Conclusion: smoking is associated with greater breast cancer severity, risk for cancer severity was OR 5.5 times higher for the smoking group survival was statistically significantly lower among the group of smokers
Mammographic Density and Expression of the Genes Involved in the de novo Cholesterol Biosynthesis
Authors: Coradini Danila
Published: August 2024

Background: This in silico study investigated the association between the local biosynthesis of cholesterol and mammographic density, the major risk of developing breast cancer, as a function of the three cellular components of breast tissue (epithelium, fatty, and non-fatty stroma).
Methods: The study compared the expression of 7 genes (HMGCR, FDPS, FDFT1, GGPS1, SQLE, LSS, and SREBF2) involved in the de novo cholesterol biosynthesis, first, according to the radiological density (dense vs. non-dense breast) and, then, according to the cellular components of breast tissue, regardless the radiological classification.
Results: HMGCR, SQLE, and SBREF2 were significantly more expressed in radiologically dense than in non-dense breasts (-1.70 vs. -1.41, P=0.0028; -1.20 vs. -1.11, P=0.0501; -3.63 vs. -3.31 P=0.0003; -0.92 vs. -0.76, P=0.0271, respectively). When the samples were reclassified based on their cellular components as highly fatty and highly non-fatty, HMGCR, SQLE, and SBREF2 were significantly more expressed in highly non-fatty samples (-1.48 vs. -1.94, P<0.0001; -3.39 vs. -4.18, P<0.0001; -0.77 vs. -0.94, P=0.0103, respectively) whereas LSS was overexpressed in high fatty ones (0.28 vs. -0.60, P<0.0001). Besides, while in the highly non-fatty subgroup SREBF2 was positively associated with both HMGCR (r=0.53, P<0.0001) and SQLE (r=0.73, P<0.0001), in the highly fatty subgroup these positive correlations disappeared (SREBF2*HMGCR: r=-0.19, P=0.3026) or substantially decreased (SREBF2*SQLE: r=0.41, P=0.0173).
Conclusion: Findings provide a compelling biological explanation for the clinical evidence that women with radiologically dense breasts are at a higher risk of developing cancer compared to those with non-dense breasts because of the prevalence of non-fatty tissue, where the altered expression of genes leading to an increased cholesterol production, can contribute to the transformation of epithelial cells, and support the use of mammographic density as a reliable surrogate marker to identify women who may benefit from a preventive treatment aimed at reducing cholesterol production.

Authors: Omranipour Ramesh , Ghaffari Hamedani Seyed Mohammad Mehdi , Alipour Sadaf , Hesamiazar Shiller , Eslami Bita
Published: August 2024

Background: Managing the axilla in patients with node-positive breast cancer who converted to node-negative patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a challenging issue. We aim to analyze the false negative rate (FNR) of SLNB after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this group of patients.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we reviewed the results of SLNB and ALND in 368 breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy from 2015 to 2019. The study included patients with pathologically proven axillary lymph nodes undergoing NAC. We collected the data from the Breast Diseases Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Results: The average age of the patients was 46.58±10.91. Of all the patients, 205 (55.7%) had positive SLN in the histologic analysis after surgery, while 163 (44.3%) had negative results. The study also revealed that the FNR of SLNB was 9.8% (n=16). Our results showed that SLN had 86.55% sensitivity and 100% specificity in detecting involved nodes. Furthermore, after multivariable analysis, we observed that a higher number of ALND dissections were associated with a higher FNR (Odds ratio; OR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.02-1.42); while a higher number of SLN excisions was linked with a lower FNR (OR=0.41; 95% CI: 0.17-0.98).
Conclusion: After NAC in breast cancer patients with positive lymph nodes, SLNB is feasible with a low FNR; the latter is correlated with the number of nodes removed during the procedure.
Malignant Phyllodes Tumour with Heterologous Osteosarcomatous differentiation and Osteoclast-like giant cells: Case Report of an uncommon neoplasm
Authors: Punhani Pallavi , Ahluwalia Charanjeet , Joseph Ajay
Published: August 2024

Background: Phyllodes tumour (PT), an uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasm accounts for less than 1% of all primary tumours of the breast. MPT with osseous differentiation often gets misdiagnosed on imaging as benign giant calcifications resulting in treatment delay. We describe a rare case of MPT with heterologous osteosarcomatous differentiation and osteoclast-like giant cells and review the literature to discuss clinical-radiological findings, differential diagnosis and treatment options.
 
Case Presentation: A 34-year-old female presented with a right breast lump. Mammography showed a high-density irregular mass with amorphous dense calcification, suggesting neoplastic aetiology. Preoperative core needle biopsy raised the possibility of a phyllodes tumour versus giant cell tumour. Wide local excision was performed to confirm the diagnosis which revealed the presence of a biphasic tumour with osteoid-like matrix and numerous osteoclastic giant cells. Immunohistochemistry was used to rule out metaplastic carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. The stromal cells were negative for panCK and P63 and positive for vimentin, CD10 and BCL-2. The osseous component was positive for Osteonectin and SATB2. Thus, a final diagnosis of malignant phyllodes tumour with heterologous osteosarcomatous differentiation and osteoclast-like giant cells was made.
 
Conclusion: MPT with osteosarcomatous differentiation is a rare and challenging entity associated with a poor clinical outcome. Accurate diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach involving breast surgeons, pathologists and radiologists with careful histopathological examination. Wide local excision with close surveillance is crucial for timely detection of tumour recurrence and metastasis.
ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКИЙ ДОСВІД СТАНОВЛЕННЯ ГРОМАДЯНСЬКОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА: МОЖЛИВОСТІ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Липчук Оксана
Published: August 2024

У статті досліджується потреба трансформації українського громадянського суспільства. У контексті нинішньої воєнної ситуації в Україні громадянське суспільство слід розглядати не лише як суспільство вільних індивідів, а й як суспільство, побудоване на легітимних (справедливих) відносинах, адже визнання взаємозв’язку між правом і справедливістю є частиною європейської правової традиції. Одним із ключових елементів громадянського суспільства є незалежні, самоврядні інститути, які взаємодіють із державними інститутами і виконують важливу легітимізуючу функцію як усередині суспільства, так і в процесі взаємодії з державними інститутами. Організації громадянського суспільства гарантують непорушність індивідуальних прав громадян, надають громадянам упевненість у власних силах та підтримують громадян і державну владу у протистоянні з ворогом. Організації громадянського суспільства діють на засадах самоврядування в межах Конституції та законів України. Мета статті – проаналізувати європейський досвід розвитку громадянського суспільства; дослідити стан та перспективи розвитку громадянського суспільства в Україні. Для досягнення поставленої мети у статті використовувалися загальнонаукові і специфічні методи дослідження. Для виявлення науково-теоретичних основ громадянського суспільства було використано методи аналізу, теоретичного узагальнення, історичний, науково-аналітичний, систематизації та класифікації. Питання громадянського суспільства в Україні є однією з найбільш обговорюваних і постійно актуалізованих тем не лише в політичному дискурсі та в думках професійних науковців, теоретиків та ідеологів різних політичних поглядів, а й серед багатьох пересічних громадян. Корінь невдач України лежить у нездатності влади комунікувати і співпрацювати з громадянським суспільством, тому найважливішим завданням є створення умов для розвитку громадянського суспільства. Люди, небайдужі до того, що відбувається навколо, повинні мати всі можливості для реалізації своїх благородних прагнень.

Determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Seow Richard Yeaw Chong
Published: August 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), a concept which existed for almost a century, is gaining traction in both commercial and academic spheres. Firms are experiencing greater pressures to realize more reasons to make more non-financial disclosures, especially on information related to their CSR initiatives. Even though some countries have implemented some forms of mandatory disclosure requirements, corporate executives continue to retain substantial autonomy in deciding the quality and extent of their corporate social responsibility disclosures (CSRDs). 128 articles published from 2006 to 2022 were found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases using a systematic literature review technique. This study offers a comprehensive mapping of the research works conducted, theoretical frameworks cited, and various determinants of CSRD. This study reveals that legitimacy theory, agency theory, and stakeholder theory are commonly cited in CSRD literature. Many country-level, firm-level, and individual-level determining factors affecting the quality and quantity of CSRD were discovered. This research made valuable contributions to the extant literature on CSR across multiple dimensions. Lastly, this study also identifies potential research avenues for academics to further the expanding body of knowledge in CSR.

Socioeconomic factors are feared to affect the self-esteem of asnaf adolescents, thus harming their psychological development and behaviour. However, previous studies show that spiritual behaviour can offset adverse effects and build a more positive self. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationship between the tendency of spiritual behaviour and the level of self-esteem of asnaf adolescents. This quantitative study uses a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 242 youth workers in Pahang. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 to obtain descriptive and correlation analysis. The study results show that the tendency of spiritual behaviour of asnaf adolescents is high, and the level of self-esteem of asnaf adolescents is moderate. The study's results also found that spiritual behaviour and self-esteem of asnaf adolescents have a significant positive relationship. Through the findings of this study, relevant parties can form modules and programs for developing asnaf adolescents, significantly improving the self-identity and self-development of pious adolescents.

This research aimed to acquire a deeper understanding of the latest amendment of the Small Estates (Distribution) Act 1955 and its implications faced by the heirs. The methodology involves analyzing documents, such as the Small Estates (Distribution) (Amendment) Act 2022 as well as secondary sources, including journal articles, conference proceedings, newspaper clippings, and websites. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, capturing the insights and extensive knowledge on this area. The study highlights nine significant updates resulting from the amendment. These include expanding the jurisdiction to streamline estate administration, optimizing the existing estate administration system, offering more options and mechanisms for citizens when submitting petitions, and incorporating electronic systems for petition submissions. The limitation of this study is the potential constraint in accessing relevant literature on the specific topic, particularly if it is a niche and emerging subject. To overcome this limitation and gather more comprehensive information, alternative techniques, such as interviews could be explored. Few studies have examined the impact of the recent amendment of the Small Estates (Distribution) Act 1955. This study analysed in details the new provision given to the heirs in smoothing the inheritance process.
Students’ perception of labor market success in vocational education and training
Authors: Czirfusz Dora , Lénárd Sándor
Published: August 2024

This study explores how vocational students in Europe define professional success. Success, as defined by Seligman (2002), involves satisfaction with one's current situation based on personal capabilities. We analyzed survey data from over 10,000 final-year vocational students to understand their perspectives on subjective (e.g. enjoyment) and objective e.g. (salary) aspects of success. Results show students prioritize objective factors (average score: 2.31) like financial security over subjective factors (average score: 1.69) such as work satisfaction. Prior work experience doesn't affect students' perception of objective success but increases the focus on subjective success. Interestingly, students with at least one college-educated parent value subjective success more, although the impact is small. These findings provide valuable insights for educational institutions to support students' career aspirations. By acknowledging the importance of both objective and subjective goals, vocational training can contribute to individual success and broader social and economic development.
Adult Bullying in the Workplace and the Medical Field: A Narrative Review
Authors: Al Akko Mina , Airia Parisa
Published: August 2024

Studying and understanding adult bullying is integral to recognizing, acknowledging, and addressing attitudes and behaviours that may be deemed acceptable in a particular context but have debilitating consequences for individuals and organizations. Much of the research in this field has focused on the impact of bullying on the vulnerable populations: children and adolescents, and there is an overall scarcity in understanding the consequences of adult bullying.
The literature supports the existence of characteristic differences between targets and perpetrators as the perpetrators lack self-awareness and empathy skills, while the targets are typically avoidant and submissive. In the workplace, perpetrators and targets relationship often involves a form of power imbalance, with perpetrators holding higher positions, and targets typically being low-status workers. Research has shown that up to 30 percent of American workers have been bullied in the workplace, including 11.3 percent healthcare workers. More than 75 percent of Canadian medical residents have reported being bullied, and 83 percent of medical students have experienced at least one incident of bullying or mistreatment. Such bullying incidents have a significant biopsychosocial burden on the victims and can negatively compromise one’s mental, physical, and social health, and create a pernicious work environment. Some of the conditions that have been associated with adult bullying include mood and anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation, heart and gastric diseases, and decreased job performance. In the medical field, all of such consequences could translate to a direct impact on patient care. Therefore, discussing and addressing adult bullying becomes a necessity.

Purpose: Comparative analysis of changes in the state of the autonomic nervous system and hemodynamics in liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident and individuals in the comparison group exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation. Material and methods: The study was carried out for 141 liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident and 84 male comparison group people aged from 30 to 50 years (41.24 ± 0.41) and (40.95 ± 0.54), respectively. Only liquidators could be exposed to ionizing effects. All of them, the dose of ionizing radiation did not exceed 0.5 Gy. All individuals underwent a clinical, neurological and electrophysiological examination in A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center. The main attention was paid to studying the state of the autonomic nervous system and hemodynamics in participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. Results: Clinical examination made it possible to diagnose neurological disorders in both groups in the form of: vegetative-vascular dystonia, neurocirculatory dystonia, dyscirculatory encephalopathy of various etiologies ‒ with a statistically significant predominance of their quantity and quality among liquidators. The changes observed in liquidators are functional and nonspecific. Conclusions: In the group of liquidators, a significant increase in the number and severity of the considered neurological disorders was revealed. Comparison of the examined groups according to the state of central hemodynamics showed the absence of a statistically significant connection between the state of cerebral blood flow and low-dose irradiation. At the same time, a connection was established between the state of cerebral hemodynamics and systemic autonomic tone and the age of the examined individuals. The combination of permanent and paroxysmal autonomic disorders, psychosomatic disorders can be considered as a manifestation of hypothalamic dysfunction that has developed against the background of vascular disorders in the brain that have arisen with age.
Cryopreservation of seeds' threatened species - Bignoniaceae
Authors: Santos Izulmé Rita Imaculada , Salomão Antonieta Nassif
Published: August 2024

Bignoniaceae family includes plant species that produce large amounts of seeds, stenospermic, thin, with two membranous wings, high lipid content and short lifespan under natural and artificial storage conditions, even though they are classified as orthodox seeds for the purposes of conservation. Such is the case of the Brazilian threatened native species Handroanthus impetiginosus, (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos, H. serratifolius (Vahl) S. Grose, Tabebuia aurea (Silva Manso) Benth. & Hook. f ex S. Moore and T. roseoalba (Ridl.) Sandwith, which have seeds with high lipid content named oleaginous or aleuro-oleaginous. Due to the characteristics of seed chemical components, storage behavior and vulnerability, an appropriate technique for conserving their genetic variability is a priority. Thus the objective of this study was to establish a cryopreservation technique for seeds of these species. In this study, the effect of exposure to liquid nitrogen at -196° C, on germinability of seeds, adopting rapid freezing (-263 °C.min.-1) and slow thawing (5 °C.min.-1), was tested for the seeds of these four species.  High germination percentages were obtained after exposure to liquid nitrogen, 89% for H. impetiginosus, 93% for H. serratifolius, 100% for T. aurea and 94% T. roseoalba. These results suggest that cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen is a safe approach and can be used to ensure long-term storage of these four plant species in cryogenic banks.
