Screening of Cultivars for Tissue Culture Response and Establishment of Genetic Transformation in a High-yielding and Disease-resistant Cultivar of <i>Theobroma cacao</i>
2020-10-08
Abstract excerpt
A highly efficient transformation protocol is a prerequisite to developing genetically modified and genome-edited crops. A tissue culture system spanning the initiation of floral material to the regeneration of plantlets into soil has been tested and improved in cacao. Fourteen cultivars were screened for their tissue culture response and transfer DNA (T-DNA) delivery efficiency via Agrobacterium . These key fact...
