Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of sp. Cultured in Temporary Immersion Bioreactor.

The genus sp. contains commercially important fleshy fruit-producing plants, including plantains and bananas, with a strong potential for providing food security and sources of revenue to farmers. Concerns with the quality of vegetative tissues along with the possibility of the transmission of phytopathogens makes the availability of healthy plantlets limited for farmers.

Micropropagation of Rare Jacq. and Preliminary Studies on Antioxidant Capacity and Anti-Cancer Potential.

We report the development of in vitro propagation protocols through an adventitious shoot induction pathway for a rare and medicinal In vitro propagation studies using nodal explants showed MS medium supplemented with 10 µM 6-Benzylaminopurine induced the highest number of adventitious shoots in a time-dependent manner. A ten-day incubation was optimum for shoot bud induction as longer exposures resulted in hyperhydricity of the explants and shoots induced. We also report preliminary evidence of EHA105-mediated gene transfer transiently expressing the green fluorescent protein in this species.

Sequencing and Assembly of the Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Peruvian Carrot ( Bancroft).

is an important secondary food crop in South America and Puerto Rico. The lack of crop protection and improvement strategies leads to infections damaging the storage roots. Here, we report the annotated complete chloroplast genome sequence of as a step toward developing genomic resources for this crop.
