A rapid method to increase the number of F1 plants in pea (Pisum sativum) breeding programs

M. A. Espósito, Almirón, P., Gatti, I., Cravero, V. P., Anido, F. S. L., and Cointry, E. L., A rapid method to increase the number of F1 plants in pea (Pisum sativum) breeding programs, vol. 11. pp. 2729-2732, 2012.

In breeding programs, a large number of F2 individuals are required to perform the selection process properly, but often few such plants are available. In order to obtain more F2 seeds, it is necessary to multiply the F1 plants. We developed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting of seeds using 6-benzylaminopurine.
