Aspects of In Vitro Plant Tissue Culture and Breeding of Asparagus: A Review

In vitro plant tissue culture and biotechnology used to assist support the development of breeding when classical methods propagation must be accelerated or it was necessary overcome barriers inaccessible by approaches. asparagus, improve multiple tasks, a high number in have been used, such as regeneration through organogenesis, embryogenesis, manipulation ploidy, protoplast isolation, genetic (protoplast fusion, transformation), embryo rescue germplasm preservation (in vitro, slow growth, cryopreservation). Plant can problems asparagus as, self cross-incompatibility between species interspecific hybrids fusion transformation, introgression new genes, clonal elite genotypes mass screening, generation haploid polyploid genotypes, among others, becoming tool choice for programs. Some these are still under development.
