Biotechnologies for Plant Mutation Breeding
Author: Joanna Jankowicz-Cieslak
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319450212
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book offers 19 detailed protocols on the use of induced mutations in crop breeding and functional genomics studies, which cover topics including chemical and physical mutagenesis, phenotypic screening methods, traditional TILLING and TILLING by sequencing, doubled haploidy, targeted genome editing, and low-cost methods for the molecular characterization of mutant plants that are suitable for laboratories in developing countries. The collection of protocols equips users with the techniques they need in order to start a program on mutation breeding or functional genomics using both forward and reverse-genetic approaches. Methods are provided for seed and vegetatively propagated crops (e.g. banana, barley, cassava, jatropha, rice) and can be adapted for use in other species.

Cryopreservation of Musa Germplasm
Author: Bart Panis
Publisher: Bioversity International
ISBN: 2910810453
Category : Bananas
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Until 10 years ago, cryopreservation protocols for plant tissues were mainly based on slow freezing in the presence of cryoprotective mixtures containing DMSO (dimthyl slphoxide), sugars, glycerol and/ or proline. Slow freezing results in a freeze-dehydration, leaving less water in the cells to form lethal ice crystals upon exposure to extreme low temperatures.

Somatic Embryogenesis: Fundamental Aspects and Applications
Author: VĂctor M Loyola-Vargas
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331933705X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
This book discusses basic and applied aspects of somatic embryogenesis, one of the most powerful tools in plant biotechnology. It is divided into three parts; Part I includes topics such as the history of this research field, how differentiated plant cells can (re)acquire totipotency, molecular features, as well as the epigenetics and proteomics of somatic embryogenesis. Part II covers the somatic embryogenesis of different crops, such as Agave spp. maize, Cocos nucifera, Bixa orellana, Capsicum spp., Coffea spp., Musa spp., Pinus spp., and Arabidopsis thaliana. Various applications, like scale-up propagation and genetic engineering are discussed in detail in Part III. The book will appeal to plant scientists, plant breeders and experts working in industry.
