Bulb scales of Lilium longiflorum 'Easter lily' were cultured in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing various combinations and concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The MS medium supplemented with 15 µM BA and 0.5 µM NAA produced the largest numbers of multiple shoots (100%) after one month of culture. The MS medium containing 5 µM indole-3-butyric acid was effective for induction of roots. When individual isolated leaves from regenerated shoots were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and NAA, a yellow compact callus was obtained. The calluses differentiated into adventitious shoots and a high frequency of shoot organogenesis (70%) was found on MS medium containing 18 µM 2,4-D with 14 shoots.

The asterion is the joining of the lambdoid, parietomastoid, and occipitomastoid sutures. It is classified into two types, type I shows small bones or woven bones, while in type II, woven bones are non-existent. In this study, forty cadavers were conducted and observed the asterion on both sides of skulls showing the approximate ratio of type II and type I was 3:2. The asterion was located by measuring the distances from the asterion to skull landmarks, including inion, the root of zygoma, and mastoid tip. The mean distance between asterion and inion was 62.9 ± 6.0 mm. The mean distance between asterion and the root of zygomatic arch was 58.3 ± 6.1 mm, whereas the mean distance between asterion and mastoid tip was 51.1 ± 5.3 mm. The most common location related to the asterion was the dural venous sinuses on 65 % of tested sides, followed by infratentorial dura and supratentorial dura (25 % and 10 %, respectively). However, the authors found no differences between sexes, sides, and types in any underlying structures.
