Plants exhibit remarkable regeneration capacity, ensuring developmental plasticity. In vitro
tissue culture techniques are based on plant regeneration ability and facilitate production of …

In this chapter, basics and mechanisms of electroporation are presented. Most important
electric pulse parameters for electroporation efficiency for different applications that involve …

Climate change, depleting natural resources, declining arable land and sky-high population
represent the main obstacles to the attainment of global food security. Therefore, to make a …

To induce androgenesis in field pea, grass pea and the model legume species Medicago
truncatula, isolated microspores of various genotypes of these three species were submitted …

Several studies have demonstrated that electric treatment has a positive effect, respectively,
on germination, root growth and post-harvest quality. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of …

This is the first report on the production of double-haploid chickpea embryos and
regenerated plants through anther culture using Canadian cultivar CDC Xena (kabuli) and …

In the last few decades, a large research input has been geared up to develop and exploit a
number of different techniques aiming to produce plants with improved resistance to biotic …

Large numbers of viable protoplasts of pea (Pisum sativum) and grass pea (Lathyrus
sativus) were efficiently and reproducibly obtained and, for the first time, fused. Different …

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 …

The application of electricity to plant cultivation has a long and contentious history. Plants
are exposed to natural electric fields throughout their life cycles. Therefore, electric fields …
