    Transgenic Ryegrasses(Loliumspp.)

    Ryegrasses (Lolium spp.), together with the closely related fescues (Festucaspp.), are of significant value in temperate grasslands (Jauhar 1993). The commercially most important ryegrasses are Italian or annual ...

    Somatic Hybridization by Microfusion of Protoplasts

    Somatic hybridization in plants has classically relied on en masse fusion of protoplasts. In general, large populations of protoplasts isolated from both parental forms are mixed and subjected to fusogenic tre...
