Previous studies 13 have shown that the en...

Molecular marker technologies have become a powerful tool in crop improvement through their use in germplasm characterization, linkage mapping and molecular breeding. In vitro plant research has become one of the areas of extensive molecular marker application, as they can be used to monitor the somaclonal variation, verify the genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants and to identify genotype...

Somaclonal variation has become common for many plant species including soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr). The present study was aimed to compare the morphological and yield characters of tissue culture derived and field grown soybean cultivar CO-3 (Coimbatore-3). With respect to the plants derived from tissue culture, the morphological characters such as length of roots, shoots, petioles, intern...

The plant tissue culture procedures for asexual multiplication of Hancornia speciosa represent an important process facilitating the preservation selected genotypes this threatened species and large-scale production plantlets population reinforcement or other utilization. However, there is no research regarding somaclonal variation at molecular level. This study aimed to evaluate role in geneti...

zki (1993) noted that genetic engineering in sugarcane would be a useful tool for reversing single flaws, such Genetic transformation of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) holds promas disease susceptibility, in commercial cultivars. Sugarise for increasing yields and disease resistance. However, the tissue cane may benefit from genetic transformation because its culture and transformation process may ...
