Direct somatic embryogenesis with high frequency plantlet regeneration and successive cormlet production in saffron (Crocus sativus L.)
2014-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Saffron is a slowly propagating geophyte with fungal infestation of corms under field conditions. Moreover, genetic improvement through breeding is not possible due to male sterility. Therefore, tissue culture methods offer a great potential for mass propagation, and somatic embryogenesis is one of the efficient methods. In the present study, direct somatic embryogenesis from leaf base was obtained in thidiazuron...
