Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of trehalose, and/or a derivative thereof, as a supplement to a culture medium for culturing hybrid plant embryos in in vitro embryo rescue. The addition of trehalose, and/or a derivative thereof, to the culture medium significantly increased the survival rate of the hybrid plant embryos.

Abstract: A closure device for a container, and preferably for a water decanter, comprising a frame comprising a closure opening and which is preferably round and configured for insertion into a pouring opening of the container, a lid, which is connected to a pendulum and which is suspended in the closure opening of the frame, and configured to swing therein, wherein the lid is configured to close and seal the closure opening when the container is substantially upright, and wherein the lid and pendulum are configured to rotate with respect to the closure opening when the container is held in a slanted or horizontal manner. The closure device preferably comprises at least one cantilever arm secured to an inner wall of the frame at a first end and connected to the lid at a second end so that the lid is configured to swing with respect to the closure opening.

The invention provides that at least that surface (28) of the piston footplate (18) which is in contact with the circumferential surface (10, 12) of the running roller (8) consists of a wear-resistant material, namely of hard metal, a ceramic material, a cast carbide material, or cermet.

Abstract: A set of cutlery includes a plurality of superimposable cutlery components, which are adapted to be releasably connected so as to form a transportable unit. In order to facilitate the handling of such cutlery, it is suggested that the cutlery components should be accommodated in a protective housing and that they should be releasably secured to the protective housing by a connection element.
