Cryopreservation of auricula shoot tips using the encapsulation/dehydration technique.

Calcium alginate encapsulated, in vitro culture derived shoot tips of the florist's auricula, cultivar Embley, were successfully cryopreserved using the encapsulation/dehydration technique. The use of preculture media containing both sucrose and mannitol was essential for post-thaw growth. After 2 weeks cold acclimatisation at 10 degrees C, shoot tips were encapsulated and incubated in culture medium containing 0.25 M sucrose and 0.25 M mannitol for 48h, followed by 23h dehydration with silica gel (water content of beads approximately 16%) prior to plunging into liquid nitrogen. Post-thaw growth of the shoot tips was without callus formation. The morphology of frozen and non-frozen shoots was comparable.

Intraoperative radiotherapy.

Intraoperative radiotherapy is the term applied to irradiation of unresectable tumors, partially resectable tumors, and regional lymph nodes with external beam radiation at the time of surgical exposure. The procedure is a promising supplement to conventional therapy; it presents no special surgical problems, and it is well tolerated.
