| Abstract:
Improved micropropagation techniques and a novel strategy named «double regeneration system», allowed to obtain somatic embryos in two olive cvs: Canino and Moraiolo. This method of regeneration permitted the production of transgenic plants for rol ABC and osmotin genes from which we expect a modification of vegetative habitus and an increase of fungal resistance, respectively. Transformation technique and biotechnological potentiality in olive genetic improvement are discussed. | |
