Multiplication, histodifferentiation and regeneration of embryogenic cell suspensions in plantains viand "Navolean" (AAB)
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2002, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The results obtained show that the best cell density for the multiplication of the cell suspensions in the cultivar Navolean is 3.0% settled cell volume. In the histo-differentiation phase the greatest formation of somatic embryos in the globular stage was obtained using a density of 12.0% final cell volume in liquid culture medium. The maturation of the embryos and an increase in germination was possible on using 0.5 gFW of somatic embryos during 30 days in the maturation culture medium. Using temporary immersion systems with 0.5 gFW of mature somatic embryos, the germination value was increased to 77.40%

Effect of orientation and length of the immature cotyledon on the Somatic embryo formation in two Cuban soybean genotypes
Identification of the suitable genotype for somatic embryogenesis in soybean culture is very important for further application in Genetic Improvement Programs. The objective of the investigation was to determine the ef...
In vitro establishment of Bambusa vulgaris var. vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl. at different times of the year
Traditional propagation of Bambusa vulgaris var. vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl is affected by low percentages of rooting and limited availability of propagules. These elements are handicaps for mass propagation of bamboos....
Somatic embryo formation from cotyledons immature in Phaseolus vulgaris cv. CIAP 7247
Common bean, like most of legumes, is recalcitrant to in vitro culture, so the establishment of a regeneration procedure via somatic embryogenesis in this specie has not been possible. Therefore, determining the effect...
Effect of different protocols for applying a magnetic field (0.03T) on growth, viability and pigment composition of Haematococcus pluvialis Flotow in sufficiency and absence of nitrogen
The effect of a magnetic field (0.03T) on growth, cellular viability and pigments accumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis was studied in order to validate potentialities for market. Magnetic field favored growth and cel...
Potential of Bacillus pumilus Bp4185 and Bacillus thuringiensis Bt 3971 for coffee berry borer biocontrol
Coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei), is one of the main pests affecting coffee production worldwide. This pest feeds and reproduces inside the berry reducing its weight and quality, causing losses up to 50%. Some st...
