Studies on Regeneration and Genetic Transformation in Jatropha

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the in vitro regeneration of Jatropha, this work presents an efficient method for propagating both toxic and non-toxic cultivars using various explants such as leaf, petiole, and cotyledonary leaf. It emphasizes a reproducible, genotype-independent protocol that enhances seed yield and oil content. Additionally, the book details optimized procedures for genetic transformation of Jatropha leaf explants and the molecular characterization of transformed plants, contributing to the advancement of this significant biofuel species.
