TLDR
The results indicated that almost no somaclonal variation was detected among the regenerants and the genetic stability of the regenerated plants was analyzed by flow cytometry, RAPD and SSR molecular markers.
Abstract
A novel protocol for plant regeneration from cotyledon explants of eggplant (Solanum melongena) reducing concentration of sucrose was established. The most efficient bud induction medium consisted of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg dm−3 zeatin, 0.1 mg dm−3 indoleacetic acid and 10 g dm−3 sucrose. After 15 d, the shoot buds were fragmented and transferred to the shoot elongation MS supplemented with 1.0–2.0 mg dm−3 gibberellic acid and 4.0–8.0 mg dm−3 AgNO3, which promoted shoots elongation. The genetic stability of the regenerated plants was analyzed by flow cytometry, RAPD and SSR molecular markers. The results indicated that almost no somaclonal variation was detected among the regenerants.

Organogenesis from root explants of commercial populations of Passiflora edulis Sims and a wild passionfruit species, P. cincinnata Masters

TL;DR: Flow cytometric analysis revealed no variation in DNA content of regenerated plantlets among all genotypes, and nuclear DNA (2C) values in regenerants of P. cincinnata and P. edulis were consistent with DNA amounts of seed-derived control plants.

Flow cytometry – a modern method for exploring genome size and nuclear DNA synthesis in horticultural and medicinal plant species

TL;DR: Flow cytometry has been used for plant DNA content estimation since the 1980s; however, presently, the number of laboratories equipped with flow cytometers has significantly increased and these are used extensively not only for research but also in plant breeding and seed production and technology to establish seed maturity, quality and advancement of germination.

In vitro propagation and genetic fidelity study of plant regenerated from inverted hypocotyl explants of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Arka Shirish.

TL;DR: The regenerated plants generated 96 scorable bands with a total of 1,056 bands for the primers, and comparison of the bands with the mother plant revealed the monomorphic nature and true-to-type clones.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Somaclonal variation — a novel source of variability from cell cultures for plant improvement

TL;DR: It is argued that this variation in plant cell culture itself generates genetic variability (somaclonal variation) that may be employed to enhance the exchange required in sexual hybrids for the introgression of desirable alien genes into a crop species.

Nuclear DNA Amounts in Angiosperms

TL;DR: This paper lists absolute nuclear DNA amounts for 753 angiosperm species, and the dats were assembled primarily for reference purposes, and so the species are listed in alphabetical order, as this was felt to be more helpful to cyto- and biochemists whom, it is anticipated, will be among its major users.

Nuclear DNA Amounts in Angiosperms

TL;DR: This paper contains a supplementary list of absolute DNA values, including estimates for 240 angiosperm species not listed by Bennett & Smith in 1976, as well as additional estimates for 41 species already listed by them.
