GENE TECHNOLOGY IN PLANT BREEDING |
| Authors: | F. Salamini, M. Motto |
| Abstract:
Advances in genetics, cell and molecular biology, particularly recombinant-DNA technology, provide new opportunities for manipulation of the genome. Therefore, it is expected that the new plant technologies will have a significant impact on expanding and diversifying the gene pool of crop plants, introducing specific genes and shortening the time required for the production of new varieties and hybrids. We focus here on gene technology with particular reference, when data are available, to ornamentals. | |
