S. Schiff et A. Bennici, IN-VITRO MORPHOGENETIC CAPACITY OF NICOTIANA-TABACUM-L VAR BEL W3 UPON CYCLIC CULTURE AND REGENERATION, Euphytica, 76(1-2), 1994, pp. 7-12
Variation in the capacity to regenerate shoots and morphogenetic poten
tial were investigated by cyclic culture and regeneration of Nicotiana
tabacum var. BEL W3. Explants were excised from different shoots form
ed by the same callus line. Differences in the organogenetic in vitro
response among regenerated plantlets was observed in two subsequent re
generate 'generations'. A progressive decrease of the regenerative cap
acity was observed across callus line 'generations'.
