Abstract: The wonder plant Jatropha is commonly known as American purging nut, Barbados nut, curcas bean, hell oil. Jatropha curcas belongs to the family EUPHORBIACEAE (Spurge family) which is a flowering plant. It is native to the tropical areas of the Americas from Mexico to Argentina and has been spread throughout the world in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It's distribution became cosmopolitan slowly according to the time. It is a prominent cash crop which is a perennial, C3 plant and it's a prominent source of biodiesel. It can thrive in poor and stony soils, although new research suggests that the plant's ability to adapt to these poor soils is not as extensive as had been previously stated.

Abstract: Metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, just like other tumors, are difficult to treat because of the uncontrolled cellular growth that they exhibit. This paper seeks to review research on the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors as conducted by different scholars in order to develop the theoretical foundation for the current study. The paper is organized to include eight subsections that include treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, the importance of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, methods of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, radiolabelled 177Lu-DOTATOC therapy, and everolimus therapy for neuroendocrine tumors. Other subsections include somatostatin receptor affinity in somatostatin-based radionuclide therapy, the success of radiolabelled somatostatin analogs in targeted......

Abstract: In Cuba, garlic (Allium sativum L.) production has a low productivity, due to biotic and abiotic factors that affect the quality of the available seed. A methodology for the regeneration of plants from somatic embryogenesis is an alternative for seed production with good physiological quality and for its use in the genetic breeding of the crop. This methodology allows obtaining high multiplication coefficients in a shorter period of time than the conventional one, besides it lowers production costs, constituting an advantage over conventional in vitro propagation methods. The plant material disinfection protocol was adjusted to reduce the microbial contamination in the establishment. For in vitro establishment, the recommended culture medium was used with the addition of VIUSID Agro® to the culture medium in concentrations of 2.5 ml.L-1. For the induction and multiplication of calluses, the most suitable culture medium was determined, which was constituted with salts and vitamins MS 50......
