Shoot apex explants for induction of somatic embryogenesis in mature Quercus robur L. trees
A procedure for inducing somatic embryos in shoot apex explants (2 mm) excised from shoot proliferation cultures established from adult oak trees (Quercus robur) was investigated. Embryogenesis was induced in sho...

Regeneration of transgenic plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of somatic embryos of juvenile and mature Quercus robur
A protocol was developed for genetic transformation of somatic embryos derived from juvenile and mature Quercus robur trees. Optimal transformation conditions were evaluated on the basis of the results of transie...

High-efficiency Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Quercus robur: selection by use of a temporary immersion system and assessment by quantitative PCR
An efficient protocol for genetic transformation of somatic embryos of Quercus robur by selection in a temporary immersion system is reported. The transformation frequency was 5 times higher than achieved by conv...

Overexpression of the chestnut CsTL1 gene coding for a thaumatin-like protein in somatic embryos of Quercus robur
Somatic embryos of Quercus robur derived from mature and juvenile trees were transformed with the CsTL1 gene coding for an antifungal protein. Clumps of somatic embryos were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaci...

Temporary immersion systems to improve alder micropropagation
A protocol has been developed for the propagation of Alnus glutinosa axillary shoots in liquid medium. The explants were cultured in Woody Plant Medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l− 1 benzyladenine and 0.5 mg l− 1 ...
