4. Plant tissue culture and regeneration of transgenic plants from embryogenic callus and immature leaves of sugarcane / Cultura de tecidos e regeneração de plantas transgênicas a partir de calos embriogênicos e de folhas imaturas de cana-de-açúcar
Sugarcane is a polyploidy monocot and allogamous species that has low reproductive rate due to the difficulty of flowering. Because of these genetic and physiological characteristics breeding program takes long time and demand hard labor. Alternatively, modern biotechnology approaches contribute to the development of new cultivars. In this work we studied th
