Plant protoplasts can be fused and the fusion products cultured to produce somatic hybrid
plants. This technique has been used to produce germplasm previously unavailable to the …

Protoplasts can be isolated in large quantities from different plant tissues and organs. They
have shown the ability to synthesize new cell walls and to regenerate complete plants when …

We have successfully developed a method to induce early in vitro flowering of the self-
pollinated seedlings of a tropical orchid hybrid, Dendrobium Madame Thong-In. Transition of …

Genetic transformation of flax (Linum usitatissimum) has been achieved using an A.
tumefaciens strain carrying a non-oncogenic Ti plasmid-derived vector containing a …

Flax, being an ancient crop, has performed a significant role throughout human history. The
principal use of flax was industrial, manufacturing textiles from fiber and paints and …

In order to obtain nuclear recessive albina mutants, seeds of Linum usitatissimum 'Antares'
were treated with ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) for 4 h at a concentration of 0.5%(v/v) …

This review summarizes the history, important milestones, current status and perspectives of
biotech flax/linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), supplemented with some of our original …

Regeneration of flax (Linum usitatissimum) following transformation by either Agrobacterium
tumefaciens carrying a disarmed Ti-plasmid vector, or Agrobacterium rhizogenes carrying …

With contributions from nearly 130 internationally renowned experts in the field, this
reference details advances in transgenic plant construction and explores the social, political …

ABSTRACT In Western Europe fiber flax breeding was started in the Netherlands in 1816,
and pedigree selection was introduced in 1900 in the Netherlands also. Therefore, the …
