Abstract: A tissue culture method and a propagation method of Cathaya argyrophylla are described herein. An adventitious bud can be induced from an explant of the Cathaya argyrophylla using a suitable induction medium, with an induction rate reaching 69.22% to 73.33%. The induced adventitious bud is inoculated into a suitable proliferation medium, such that the adventitious bud can proliferate and strengthen seedlings, where the adventitious bud shows a proliferation rate reaching 46.23% to 55%. The adventitious bud after proliferation and seedling strengthening are inoculated into a suitable rooting medium to allow rooting culture, thereby obtaining a complete tissue culture seedling of the Cathaya argyrophylla. The tissue culture method is of great significance for protecting the Cathaya argyrophylla, increasing a plant quantity of the Cathaya argyrophylla, and expanding a population of the Cathaya argyrophylla to prevent extinction.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically generating feedback based on contextual information and providing the feedback to a user are provided. A service provider determines, based on contextual information related to a user (such as personal information previously provided by the user) interactive data to display to the user. The type of interactive data may correspond to the type of personal information submitted by the user or derived by the service provider. The interactive data may be based on other users that have already registered with the service provider. In this way, a user is able to (1) view current and relevant information that is related to the user and (2) see the value that the user receives by providing additional personal information. Subsequent interactive data may be based on multiple personal data items that the service provider receives from the user. These techniques are also applicable after a user has registered with a service provider.
