In vitro Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Anther Culture: Can be Affected Via Vitamins B?
Journal Title: Biotechnology Journal International - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a vegetable in family Solanaceae and has a very important place and development potential in the field of plant breeding and biotechnology. It is at the forefront of haploid plant acquisitions in plant biotechnology, especially in the sense that it helps traditional wisdom. In vitro haploid studies have shown that the genetic structure is 'recalcitrant' and the rate of embryo formation is low during the vegetative stages of embryo formation and applications are being made to increase it. In this study, four different pepper cultivars and vitamin B compounds, which are thought to play an important role as antioxidants recently, have been used to see effect of vitamin B on pepper androgenesis. When the results of the study were evaluated, it was observed that not only differences were found in cultivars but also different vitamin B compounds added to the media were positively affecting androgenesis.
