Journal ArticleDOI
Plant regeneration from cultured immature embryos and inflorescences ofTriticum aestivum L. (wheat): Evidence for somatic embryogenesis
Peggy Ozias-Akins,Indra K. Vasil +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that while typical bipolar embryos are generally not formed, plant regeneration nevertheless takes place through embryogenesis and the precocious germination of the embryoids, which are considered modifications of the scutellum, a definitive part of the cereal embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transformation of Zea mays seedlings with Agrobacterium tumefaciens Detection of T-DNA specific enzyme activities
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a member of the commercially important Gramineae also is subject to A. tumefaciens directed transformation, and this conclusion is based on two observations.

Somaclonal Variation and Crop Improvement
Philip J. Larkin,W. R. Scowcroft +1 more
TL;DR: It is contention that the lateness of this realization was a consequence of the fact that so few tissue culturists were engaged in careful analysis of the regenerated plants and also failed to see cell culture manipulation in a genetic context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing sorghum and millet biotechnology for food and health
TL;DR: This review highlights recombinant DNA technology as a powerful tool to enhance the gene pools of sorghum and pearl millet crops regarded as jewels of Africa by allowing the transfer of genes which control well-defined traits between species.

Nutrient requirements of suspension cultures of soybean root cells.
TL;DR: The nutrient requirements of suspension cultures from soybean root have been investigated, and a simple medium consisting of mineral salts, sucrose, vitamins and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4- d) has been designed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenesis and plant regeneration from callus of immature embryos of sorghum
TL;DR: Callus with leafy shoots were obtained from immature embryos of sorghum and further proliferated after subculture on the same medium and some plants were sterile while others produced fertile seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Callus formation from stem protoplasts of corn (Zea mays L.)
TL;DR: The first successful culture, with sustained divisions, of protoplasts from intact plants of Zea mays is described, using a hanging microdrop array technique which permits the testing of very large numbers of different culture media and hormone variations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The growth of and organ formation from callus tissue of sorghum.
TL;DR: The culture of sorghum callus, the initiation of shoot primordia, and development of plants from callus tissue of this species are described.
