Artificial Seed Production Through Encapsulation of Hairy Root and Shoot Tips

  • Chapter
Somatic Embryogenesis and Synthetic Seed I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 30))

Abstract

The delivery system, using artificial seed, is of great value in germplasm storage, propagation, and in the production of chemicals. Artificial seed for plant propagation has been investigated in somatic embryogenesis (Kitto and Janick 1985; Redenbaugh et al. 1991). We have extended this concept to the hairy root because of the successful regeneration of the whole plant from Ri-transformed cells. The micropropagation system using these hairy roots promises practical application in the fields of cellular biology, agriculture, and bioengineering.
