Anthers excised from male flowers of an adult coconut palm of Sri Lanka Tall cultivar were used to produce plants via androgenesis. Morphological aspects of the anther-derived structures and their plant regeneration pathways were studied. Under the culture conditions employed, both calli and embr...

Abstract: In vitro regeneration of open pollinated varieties (OPVs) Kakamega Striga Tolerant Population 94 (KSTP’94) and ‘Namba Nane’ alongside a tropical inbred line (CML144) was evaluated using immature zygotic embryos as explants. Four callus induction media (CIM) regimes; Murashige and Skoog ...
Inadequate availability of disease-free planting materials remains a major constraint to yam production.
The tissue culture technique has been used to regenerate disease-free plantlets from pre-formed, heattreated
meristems followed by micropropagation. This procedure, however, has a low multipli...

Development of micropropagation system for yam (Dioscorea spp.) using somatic embryogenesis
Conventional breeding takes several years to achieve homozygosity in yam. Anther culture technology is a rapid and viable alternative for the development of homozygous plants, therefore optimizing key parameters for the establishment of an efficient protocol for yam anther culture is indispensabl...
