Download or read book Plant Cell Tissue Culture and Protoplast Fusion Techniques of Nicotiana Tabacum written by Kristopher Olson and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to plant cells to fuse and form viable dikaryons that will grow and divide in vitro is a potentially valuable aspect in the production of new plant hybrids, both intra and inter species. The general goal in research of this nature is to obtain a mature plant derived from a signle cell line of fusion products, which expresses desired traits from each of the genomes it was derived from. This project has been specifically concerned with laboratory methods of obtaining viable protoplasts and subsequent methods of fusion and culture.
