Effect of phyllotactic position and cultural treatments toward successful direct shoot organogenesis in dwarf ‘Pixie’ grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
In Vitis spp. where somatic embryogenesis-based regeneration predominates, an efficient, reproducible and robust method of direct shoot organogenesis from leaf explant material has been established in the dwarf w...
