    Abstract This review addresses a frequently encountered problem of designing an effective cryopreservation procedure for new (not previously cryopreserved) or difficult plant materials. This problem hinders worldwide efforts of applying cryopreservation across a wide genetic base of wild and a number of cultivated plants. We review recent advances in modifications of routinely applied cryoprotective solutions (CPAs) and suggest a practical approach to protocol development which embraces the physiological complexity of plant tissues as well as a wide spectrum of behaviours under CPA treatment. We suggest that vegetative plant materials are classified into four categories based on their size, structure, and the response to osmotic and chemical stresses provoked by CPA mixtures of varied composition and concentration, including alternative osmoprotection and vitrification solutions. A number of up to 15 preset protocols designed specifically for each category is then applied to the material. The protocols resulting in the best regrowth are then combined into the optimized procedure. The main advantage of this system over a conventional "trial-and-error" search for working cryopreservation protocol is a minimal amount of starting materials required for the tests and a relatively accurate prediction of material behaviour under cryopreservation stress provided by the relatively few CPAs treatments. The unifying principles revealed by this approach could broaden a spectrum of wild species and materials which can be safely conserved by cryopreservation. Also anticipated is application of this approach to plant materials of biotechnological value as well as cultivars of agricultural and horticultural crops which do not respond well to standard protocols developed for their kind. doi.org/10.54680/fr23110110112.

    Abstract The article discusses the stages of conducting a philological analysis of a literary text to the audience, contributing to the correct understanding of the work, developing reading abilities. The levels of reading of the text are characterized, the methods of identifying the functional and stylistic load of the language means of the text are described. The study of the text in the figurative-linguistic plane is associated, first of all, with the study of the functioning of the word in communicative and aesthetic aspects. The ways of revealing the content-subtext information in the literary text are indicated.

    Abstract Ganglion cells are the output retinal neurons that convey visual information to the brain. There are ~20 different types of ganglion cells, each encoding a specific aspect of the visual scene as spatial and temporal contrast, orientation, direction of movement, presence of looming stimuli; etc. Ganglion cell functioning depends on the intrinsic properties of ganglion cell's membrane as well as on the excitatory and inhibitory inputs that these cells receive from other retinal neurons. GABA is one of the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitters in the retina. How it modulates the activity of different types of ganglion cells and what is its significance in extracting the basic features from visual scene are questions with fundamental importance in visual neuroscience. The present review summarizes current data concerning the types of membrane receptors that mediate GABA action in proximal retina; the effects of GABA and its antagonists on the ganglion cell light-evoked postsynaptic potentials and spike discharges; the action of GABAergic agents on centre-surround organization of the receptive fields and feature related ganglion cell activity. Special emphasis is put on the GABA action regarding the ON-OFF and sustained-transient ganglion cell dichotomy in both nonmammalian and mammalian retina.

    Abstract The cultivation of plant cells in large-scale bioreactor systems has long been considered a promising alternative for the overexploitation of wild plants as a source of bioactive phytochemicals. This idea, however, faced multiple constraints upon realization, resulting in very few examples of technologically feasible and economically effective biotechnological companies. The bioreactor cultivation of plant cells is challenging. Even well-growing and highly biosynthetically potent cell lines require a thorough optimization of cultivation parameters when upscaling the cultivation process from laboratory to industrial volumes. The optimization includes, but is not limited to, the bioreactor's shape and design, cultivation regime (batch, fed-batch, continuous, semi-continuous), aeration, homogenization, anti-foaming measures, etc., while maintaining a high biomass and metabolite production. Based on the literature data and our experience, the cell cultures often demonstrate cell line- or species-specific responses to parameter changes, with the dissolved oxygen concentration (pO

    Abstract In order to evaluate the site of action of picrotoxin (antagonist of ionotropic GABA receptors) on the electroretinographic (ERG) b- and d-waves, in this study we compared its effects on the intensity-response function of the ERG waves in intact light adapted frog eyecup preparations with its effects in eyecups, where the activity of proximal neurons was blocked by 1 mMN-methyl-d-aspartate (MNDA). Picrotoxin markedly enhanced the b- and d-wave amplitude and slowed the time course of the responses at all stimulus intensities in the intact eyecups. Perfusion with NMDA alone caused significant enhancement of the b-wave amplitude and diminution of the d-wave amplitude without altering their time course in the entire intensity range. When picrotoxin was applied in combination with NMDA, an enhancement of the b-wave amplitude and slowing of its time course were observed at all stimulus intensities. The increase of the b-wave amplitude was significantly higher than that seen in NMDA group. Combined application of picrotoxin and NMDA caused an enhancement of the d-wave amplitude at the lower stimulus intensities and its diminution at the higher ones, while the d-wave time course was delayed over the entire intensity range. The results obtained indicate that a part of picrotoxin effects on the amplitude and time course of the photopic ERG b- and d-waves are due to its action in the distal frog retina.

    Abstract In the vertebrate retina, visual signals are segregated into parallel ON and OFF pathways, which provide information for light increments and decrements. The segregation is first evident at the level of the ON and OFF bipolar cells in distal retina. The activity of large populations of ON and OFF bipolar cells is reflected in the b- and d-waves of the diffuse electroretinogram (ERG). The role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acting through ionotropic GABA receptors in shaping the ON and OFF responses in distal retina, is a matter of debate. This review summarized current knowledge about the types of the GABAergic neurons and ionotropic GABA receptors in the retina as well as the effects of GABA and specific GABAA and GABAC receptor antagonists on the activity of the ON and OFF bipolar cells in both nonmammalian and mammalian retina. Special emphasis is put on the effects on b- and d-waves of the ERG as a useful tool for assessment of the overall function of distal retinal ON and OFF channels. The role of GABAergic system in establishing the ON-OFF asymmetry concerning the time course and absolute and relative sensitivity of the ERG responses under different conditions of light adaptation in amphibian retina is also discussed.

    Abstract Dopamine is the most abundant catecholamine in the vertebrate retina. Despite the description of retinal dopaminergic cells three decades ago, many aspects of their function in the retina remain unclear. There is no consensus among the authors about the stimulus conditions for dopamine release (darkness, steady or flickering light) as well as about its action upon the various types of retinal cells. Many contradictory results exist concerning the dopamine effect on the gross electrical activity of the retina [reflected in electroretinogram (ERG)] and the receptors involved in its action. This review summarized current knowledge about the types of the dopaminergic neurons and receptors in the retina as well as the effects of dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists on the light responses of photoreceptors, horizontal and bipolar cells in both nonmammalian and mammalian retina. Special focus of interest concerns their effects upon the diffuse ERG as a useful tool for assessment of the overall function of the distal retina. An attempt is made to reveal some differences between the dopamine actions upon the activity of the ON versus OFF channel in the distal retina. The author has included her own results demonstrating such differences.

    Abstract The effects of dopamine receptor blockade by sulpiride (D2-class antagonist) and sulpiride plus SCH 23390 (D1-class antagonist) on the V - log I function of the electroretinographic (ERG) b- and d-waves were investigated in light-adapted frog eyes. Sulpiride significantly decreased the absolute sensitivity of the b- and d-waves. The amplitude of the both waves was diminished over the whole intensity range studied. A similar effect on the b-, but not d-wave amplitude was seen during the perfusion with sulpiride plus SCH 23390. The effect on the d-wave amplitude depended on stimulus intensity. The threshold of the d-wave was not significantly altered. The suprathreshold d-wave amplitude was enhanced at the lower stimulus intensities and remained unchanged at the higher ones. The results obtained indicate that the action of endogenous dopamine on the photopic ERG shows clear ON-OFF asymmetry. Participation of different classes of dopamine receptors is probably responsible for this difference.
