Main conclusion Plant tissue culture has been used for conservation, micropropagation, and
in planta overproduction of some pharma molecules of medicinal plants. New biotechnology …

In vitro regeneration systems provide a powerful tool for manipulating ploidy to facilitate
breeding and development of new crops. Polyploid induction can expand breeding …

Polyploidy plays an important role in plant diversification and speciation. The ploidy level of
plants is associated with morphological and biochemical characteristics, and its modification …

Synthetic polyploids have been extensively studied for breeding in the last decade.
However, the use of such genotypes at the agronomical level is still limited. Polyploidization …

Background Induced polyploidy serves as an efficient approach in extricating genetic
potential of cells. During polyploidization, multiple sets of chromosomes are derived from the …

Induced polyploidy usually results in larger vegetative and reproductive plant organs. In
order to study the effect of chromosome doubling on Thymus vulgaris, three levels of …

The plant kingdom is a rich source of bioactive compounds, many of which have been used
since pre-history for their therapeutic properties to treat a range of illnesses. These …

Fig tree (Ficus carica L.) is a precious fruit tree in semi-arid and arid areas worldwide which
has difficulties in its conventional breeding programs. This study was carried out to make …

Plantago psylliumis is under development as the source of mucilage, but has not been
entirely domesticated. Since mucilage content is low and variable in the medicinal plant, it is …

Polyploidization has played a crucial role in plant breeding and crop improvement.
However, studies on the polyploidization of tropical tree species are still very scarce in this …
