Factors affecting somatic embryogenesis and transformation in modern plant breeding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Somatic embryogenesis and transformation systems are indispensable modern plant breeding components since they provide an alternative platform to develop control strategies against the plethora of pests and diseases affecting many agronomic crops. This review discusses some of the factors affecting somatic embryogenesis and transformation, highlights the advantages and limitations of these systems and explores these systems as breeding tools for the development of crops with improved agronomic traits. The regeneration of non-chimeric transgenic crops through somatic embryogenesis with introduced disease and pest-resistant genes for instance, would be of significant benefit to growers worldwide.

متن کاملPLANT REGENERATION IN EGGPLANT (Solanum melongena L.) A REVIEW
Eggplant is highly responsive to various tissue culture techniques. Somatic embryogenesis and direct organogenesis are widely studied protocols in this crop, but potential of regeneration varies with genotype, explant and culture media supplemented with different combination and concentration of growth hormones. The genotype is the most important factor affecting somatic embryogenesis and organ...

Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) is a wild flower with high and valuable oil content. High seedshattering, indeterminate inflorescence and heterogeneous germination limit the commercial cultivation ofthis plant. Besides agronomical research, breeding programs can also remedy the above mentioned problems.Since traditional breeding methods take a long time, using techniqu...
