The Use of Some Cell Technologies in Grape Breeding

Summary

    The possibilities of application of some cell engineering methods for grape breeding were studied. The method of microclonal propagation in vitro using adventitious shoot formation by 6-benzylaminopurine allows to multiply genetically identical plant material. The methods of plant regeneration from callus tissues via organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis can be recommended for creation of new genotypes in particular tetraploids. The frequency of polyploid plant formation can be increased by mutagenic treatments-of forming or embryogenic calli with gamma-rays or colchicine.
