Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of acetosyringone and pH on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation vary according to plant species
TL;DR: There was evidence to suggest that acetosyringone may suppress virulence in some strain/plant species interactions, but there was no general effect across plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of somaclonal variation in garlic (Allium sativum L.) using RAPD and cytological analysis
TL;DR: Plants regenerated by somatic embryogenesis from long-term callus cultures derived from five garlic cultivars were subjected to RAPD analysis, suggesting the existence of a mutation-sensitive part of the garlic genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of nodal cuttings and shoot tips for storage and exchange of cassava germplasm
K. E. Danso,B. V. Ford-Lloyd +1 more
TL;DR: The high frequency of plant regrowth from alginate-coated micropropagules coupled with high viability percentage after 28 days of storage is highly encouraging for the exchange of cassava genetic resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
The detection of somaclonal variants of beet using RAPD.
TL;DR: The overall frequency of detection of somaclonal polymorphisms using RAPD is similar to frequencies previously reported using isozyme and RFLP technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation of embryogenic calli of cassava using sucrose cryoprotection and air desiccation
K. E. Danso,B. V. Ford-Lloyd +1 more
TL;DR: A simplified technique which simultaneously induces and cryoprotects embryogenic calli using sucrose followed by dehydration was developed for the cryopreservation of cassava genetic resources and successfully applied to SM1-2075-1 Line 1 somatic embryos.
