Microclonal propagation of grain legume crops in vitro conditions

Abstract

An enhanced method of microclonal propagation of grain legume seeds, including the stages of sterilization of explants of grain legumes (peas, vetch, beans, lentils, chickpeas) their introduction into in vitro conditions, actual propagation and rooting of regenerants is presented in the article. Methods for culturing isolated plant organs, tissues and cells emerged more than half a century ago and have been constantly improved since then. Work in this direction has led to certain achievements in understanding the process of plant development.
