Journal Article
Perspectivas da biotecnologia para o melhoramento de plantas
TL;DR: The role of biotechnology as a suport to plant breeding is discussed, mainly in relation to the use of haploids and somaclonal variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant hormones: the outlook for their application
J. Nowak,G. W. Lawson +1 more
TL;DR: In the current concern for increasing food production, the investigation of, and practical use of plant regulators offers one of the most promising lines for future development as mentioned in this paper, and a review can be found in this article.

Stable incorporation of plasmid DNA into higher plant cells: the molecular basis of crown gall tumorigenesis
Mary-Dell Chilton,Martin H. Drummond,Donald J. Merlo,Daniela Sciaky,Alice L. Montoya,Milton P. Gordon,Eugene W. Nester +6 more
TL;DR: It is presented that crown gall tumors are caused by the incorporation of part of a virulence plasmid carried by the inciting bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and the relationship between this plant tumor and virally induced animal tumor systems is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric field-induced cell-to-cell fusion
U. Zimmermann,J. Vienken +1 more
TL;DR: Despite many promising results and considerable efforts, fusion still seems to be something of an art rather than a precise science and any progress in this field and in the development of novel fusion techniques will have to be evaluated by comparison with the inherent limitations of the current fusion procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for high-frequency intergeneric fusion of plant protoplasts.
K. N. Kao,M. R. Michayluk +1 more
TL;DR: None of the protoplasts from pea and barley leaves, either with or without PEG treatment, underwent cell division during the period of observation, and the mechanism of adhesion and fusion of theprotoplasts has been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercoiled circular DNA in crown-gall inducing Agrobacterium strains
TL;DR: The hypothesis is formulated that the large plasmid present in crown-gall inducing bacteria could be the “tumor-inducing principle”.
Journal ArticleDOI
Streptomycin-resistant Plants from Callus Culture of Haploid Tobacco
TL;DR: Conditions are worked out for the isolation of streptomycin-resistant tobacco cell lines, from which diploid fertile plants carrying the streptomecin- resistant character, were regenerated and seedlings grown from seeds of self-fertilized resistant Str-r1 plants were resistant.
