متن کاملUse of In Vitro Breeding Strategies in the Development of Australian Native Plants
Plant biotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool of crop improvement and has aroused a great deal of interest in many countries because of its application to agriculture and horticulture. We report here the application of a number of in vitro plant breeding techniques such as micropropagation, in vitro flowering, in vitro pollination and fertilisation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, a...
متن کاملTowards the discovery of novel phytochemicals for disease prevention from native Australian plants: an ethnobotanical approach.
Investigation into phytochemicals from foods for disease prevention has increased substantially in the last few decades. However, a clear strategy on the selection of the most promising foods for research has been lacking. An ethnobotanical approach represents an effective method which may improve the outcomes of phytochemical research. Research on the health properties of native Australian pla...
