BAP effect in vitro germination of soybean cultivars UFUS Xavante an UFUS Carajás

Background Plant tissue culture is a biotechnology particularly relevant to plant genetic transformation. The ability of in vitro regeneration is one of the requirements for the production of usable plants in breeding programs [1]. As each genotype has a specific regeneration potential, several protocols have been developed with the aim of developing methodologies that can speed up the germination process [2]. In vitro, culture media for plants, not only provide macro and micronutrients, but also carbohydrates, usually sucrose as a carbon source. Better results are obtained by adding organic compounds such as vitamins, amino acids and growth regulators [3].
