Regeneration of highland papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens ) from anther culture

Isolation and Characterisation of PRSV-P Resistance Genes in Carica and Vasconcellea

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the major tropical fruit crops worldwide, but it is limited throughout its range by papaya ringspot virus type P (PRSV-P). Previous genetic studies identified a functional PRSV-P resistance marker in a mapping population of F2 plants of Vasconcellea pubescens (resistant to PRSV-P) × Vasconcellea parviflora (susceptible to PRSV-P) and showed that the marker ex...

Development of plants resistant to Papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus by intergeneric hybridization between Carica papaya and Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis

In this study, we confirmed that Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis resists Papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus (PLDMV), and used it to produce intergeneric hybrids with Carica papaya. From the cross between C. papaya and V. cundinamarcensis, we obtained 147 seeds with embryos. Though C. papaya is a monoembryonic plant, multiple embryos were observed in all 147 seeds. We produced 218 plants from 28 ...

Anther culture of iranian wheat germplasm using different media

diallel analysis of callus induction and plant regeneration in rice anther culture

low efficiency of callus induction and green-plant regeneration have limited the application of anther culture in breeding programs. this study was conducted to determine the inheritance of callus induction and plant regeneration in rice (oryza sativa) anther culture. ten genotypes drived from a five-parent diallel mating set contain khazar, sepidrood, hashemi, alikazemi and nematt were evaluat...

New findings in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) anther culture

In this research, some independent experiments were carried out for investigating the effects of microspore developmental stage, bud pretreatments (cold, heat and Ca), and embryo induction medium on anther culture of some strawberry cultivars. The results showed that the percentages of responsive and embryogenic anthers in cultivar Paros in liquid medium were influenced not only by different de...
