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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of high-frequency somatic embryos in cassava for cryopreservation
K. E. Danso,B. V. Ford-Lloyd +1 more
TL;DR: The addition of copper sulphate enhanced primary embryo induction and significantly increased secondary embryo production and the use of cassava somatic embryo micropropagules for germplasm conservation and synthetic seed development seems to be a strong possibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colchicine-sensitivity Test in Cassava Leaf Lobes and its Effect on Callus and Somatic Embryo Formation
TL;DR: In this article , colchicine treated leaf lobes were regenerated into callus on either 8 mg/l 2, 4-D or Picloram and LD50 of 0.09, 0.11, 0.,13, and 0.10 mg/L were respectively obtained in 2 and 4D.

TL;DR: An efficient callus-mediated regeneration system was developed for high-frequency production of planting material of sugarcane genotypes LSC and B36464 in this paper , where spindle leaf segments cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with 2,4-D or picloram at 1, 2, 3 or 4 mg/L resulted in callus induction.
