Genetic Transformation in Anthurium

  • Chapter
Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering V

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 29))

Abstract

Anthurium is the largest and most complex genus in the family Araceae. It consists of about 1000 species (Croat 1992). The distribution of this genus extends from northern Mexico and the Greater Antilles to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, and Paraguay (Croat 1983, 1986). The chromosome number of most investigated species is 2n = 30 (Sheffer and Kamemoto 1976; Sheffer and Croat 1983).
