Callus Type, Growth Regulators, and Phytagel on Indirect Somatic Embryogenesis of Coffee ( L. var. Colombia).

Coffee is a crop of global relevance. Indirect somatic embryogenesis has allowed plants of different coffee genotypes to be massively regenerated. The culture medium composition can affect the calli characteristics that are generated and their ability to form somatic embryos.

Novel Fungus on Fruit in Mexico and Its Synergistic Relationship with .
