The advancements made in tissue culture techniques has made it possible to regenerate
various horticultural species in vitro as micropropagation protocols for commercial scale …

Transposable elements (TEs) account for a large portion of the genome in many eukaryotic
species. Despite their reputation as “junk” DNA or genomic parasites deleterious for the …

Plant breeding has traditionally relied on combining the genetic diversity present within a
species to develop combinations of alleles that provide desired traits. Epigenetic diversity …

Plant tissue culture has become one of the fundamental tools of plant science research. It is
extensively employed in the production, conservation and improvement of plant resources …

Within the life cycle of a living organism, another life cycle exists for the selfish genome
inhabitants, which are called transposable elements (TEs). These mobile sequences invade …

Background The growing wealth of knowledge on whole-plant genome sequences is
highlighting the key role of transposable elements (TEs) in plant evolution, as a driver of …

Cell and tissue plant cultures are used either to save vulnerable species from extinction or to
multiply valuable genotypes, or both, and are widely applied for economically important …

An efficient method for making directed DNA sequence modifications to plant genes (gene
targeting) is at present lacking, thereby frustrating efforts to dissect plant gene function and …

The in vitro tissue cultures are, beyond all difficulties, an essential tool in basic research as
