Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Cotton hypocotyl explants gave much easier callus induction than cotyledon or root explants.
- Association The optimum ZT concentration for cotton callus induction was 3.0~5.0 mg/L.
- Association Root explants were the most responsive for cotton somatic embryo production, then hypocotyl, then cotyledon.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D promoted proliferation of embryogenic callus in cotton.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D had a negative effect on differentiation and germination of cotton somatic embryos.
- Intervention effect Activated charcoal could promote production, maturation and germination of cotton somatic embryos.
- Intervention effect A combination of ZT and IAA could promote production, maturation and germination of cotton somatic embryos.
- Method / resource ZH medium with 2,4-D, kinetin and ZT was the best medium for proliferation of cotton embryogenic callus.
- Method / resource MSB with ZT and activated charcoal was the best medium for differentiation and germination of cotton somatic embryos.
- Observation Two kinds of callus, embryogenic and nonembryogenic, were identified after 70 days of cotton culture.
- Observation Embryogenic cotton callus developed into somatic embryos after 20 days of subculture.
- Observation Complete cotton plants could be regenerated via somatic embryogenesis from hypocotyl, cotyledon and root explants in 3-4 months.
