Current applications of coffee (Coffea arabica) somatic embryogenesis for industrial propagation of elite heterozygous materials in Central America and Mexico [PDF]

, 2010
Of ail the possible micropropagation techniques, it is widely accepted that vegetative propagation by somatic embryogenesis is by far the most promising for rapid, large-scale dissemination of elite individuals.

RAPD analysis of callus regenerated and seed grown plants of maize (Zea mays L.). [PDF]

, 2018
Genetic and cytogenetic changes are frequently observed in plants regenerated from tissue culture. This phenomenon, termed somaclonal variation, is undesirable in genetic transformation processes.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1344-1358, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...

Induction of Synthetic Apomixis in Two Sorghum Hybrids Enables Seed Yield and Genotype Preservation Over Multiple Generations

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1712-1724, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.

Controlling GRF4‐GIF1 expression for efficient, genotype‐independent transformation across wheat cultivars

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Wheat is a staple crop critical for global food security, and its continuous genetic improvement is essential to meet the demands of a growing population. Efficient, genotype‐independent transformation is a major bottleneck in wheat functional genomics and gene editing.

Removal of Transgenes and Evaluation of Yield Penalties in Genome Edited Bacterial Blight Resistant Rice Varieties

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 939-953, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial blight (BB) of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the major drivers of yield losses in Africa and Asia. Xoo secretes TAL‐effectors (TALe) that induce host SWEET sucrose uniporter by binding to the effector binding element (EBE) of SWEET promoters, likely required for Xoo reproduction and virulence.
