A Review on Research Progress on in vitro Regeneration and Transformation of Tomato
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
After potato tomato is the second major vegetable crop consumed all over the globe as raw and processed food. Due to its high demand its genetic improvement in respect to high yielding, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance etc. has been done by several peoples through transformation. Transformation is an emerging tool in crop improvement programme, which expands the source of genes for plant improvement to all species far beyond the gene pool accessible via sexual hybridization. The key component of transformation system is a most functional genomics approaches useful for developing various gene identification strategies and also offers strategies for over expressing or suppressing endogenous genes. The current review provides an overview of the research progress on regeneration and transformation of tomato in the last 15 years.
