STUDY ON ISOLATED MICROSPORE CULTURE IN CITRUS SINENSIS L. OSBECK CV. MORO, A BLOOD ORANGE CULTIVAR

In vitro tissue culture represents a useful support for the advancement of Citrus breeding and propagation. Haploidy technology, that is the single-step development of complete homozygous genotypes from heterozygous parents through gametic embryogenesis, has already a huge impact on many relevant crops, representing an integral part in their breeding programmes (Germanà 2011a; 2011b). In order to increase the number of genotypes responding to gametic embryogenesis, in vitro isolated microspore culture of Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv. Moro, has been carried out, investigating the influence of the culture medium composition, and, particularly, of the plant growth regulator types and concentra…
