K. Subhash et al., INDUCTION OF STREPTOMYCIN-RESISTANT PLANTLETS IN CAPSICUM-ANNUUM-L THROUGH MUTAGENESIS IN-VITRO, Plant cell reports, 16(1-2), 1996, pp. 111-113
Streptomycin resistant shoots were regenerated from mutagenised (ethyl
emethane sulphonate treated) cotyledon explants of Capsicum annuum Cv
G(4). Streptomycin resistant shoots developed from green (unbleached)
sectors of the cotyledons. Reciprocal crosses betweeen streptomycin re
sistant and sensitive plants have shown a non-mendelian transmission.
Such mutant plants should be useful in designing biochemical selection
schemes to recover somatic hybrids and cybrids of C. annuum.
