SOMATIC EMBRYO INITIATION AND GERMINATION IN DIPLOID COTTON (GOSSYPIUM ARBOREUM L.)

From: In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology | Date: March 1, 2004| Author: Et al; Rajasekaran, Kanniah; Saha, Sukumar; Zipf, Allan; Sakhanokho, Hamidou F | Copyright information

SUMMARY The diploid cotton species can constitute a valuable gene pool for the more agronomically desirable cultivated tetraploid cultivars and offer better opportunities to study gene structure and function through gene knockouts. In order to exploit these advantages, a regeneration system is required to achieve these transformation-based goals. Carbohydrate source and concentration were evaluated to improve somatic embryo (SE) production and desiccation treatments to improve the conversion ...

Tissue Culture Methods to Improve Herbs, Spices, and Nutraceutical Plants
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; P-32 There is very little activity underway to improve the genetics of herbs, spices and other nutraceutical crops. Much of the industry relies on "wild" plants, therefore, the potential for variability in performance and active ingredients is high. This presents significant challenges for the
