Plant Regeneration: Morphogenesis

  • Chapter
Plant Cell Biotechnology

Abstract

The ability to regenerate whole plants from selected or genetically altered cells or tissues is the key to the broad biotechnological potential of plant cell cultures. This is not a fundamentally novel process, it has long been used commercially to propagate and produce certain cultures, e.g. in plants with seed material difficult to manipulate, with extended seed quiescence, with embryos unable to develop or with undesirable juvenile phases, to propagate sterile but promising lines, or to produce germ-free material.
