Estudio del comportamiento en fases tempranas de somaclones seleccionados de bajo porte en el híbrido de plátano FHIA-21
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2001, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) represent a main crop and a tropical food product on a world level. The present study was carried out in the acclimatization phase with the objective of proving the effectiveness of the selection realized for the height of the plant on plant material that was treated with physical mutagens agent (gamma radiation Co60 source) to induce variability. The treatments used were five (5) somaclons selected previously in the fields with low height, which were multiplied in vitro and were adapted during 45 days, evaluating in this moment various qualitative and quantitative characters. These studies permit the height of the plant as well as the length and width of the leaf to be used as plant selection markers of low height in the early phase in the plantain hybrid FHIA-21.
