The effect of genotype and culture medium on somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from mature embryos of fourteen apomictic cultivars of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.).

2006-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) is an important apomictic grass used as forage for ruminant livestock. Biotechnological methods provide opportunities for producing new germplasm. Mature embryos of fourteen buffel grass apomictic cultivars (2n = 4x = 36) were used to induce embryogenic callus formation using a basal medium supplemented with 3% sucrose and with the testing of five concentrations of 2,4-dichlorop...
