Plant Regeneration of Ethiopian Tropical Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes

Five Ethiopian tropical maize genotypes were evaluated for their regeneration potential through somatic embryogenesis to establish regeneration system and select regenerable genotypes as prerequisites in applying genetic transformation for improved drought stress tolerance. Immature zygotic embryos...

Zusammenfassung:Five Ethiopian tropical maize genotypes were evaluated for their regeneration potential through somatic embryogenesis to establish regeneration system and select regenerable genotypes as prerequisites in applying genetic transformation for improved drought stress tolerance. Immature zygotic embryos were incubated for callus induction on Murashige and Skoog basal salts supplemented with 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg L super(-1) 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The genotypes differed significantly (p
