Progress Made in Cassava Tissue Culture

Regeneration of cassava(Manihot esculenta Crantz),both v ia organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis is reviewed.Organogenesis can be indu ced from many kinds of explants such as apical meristems,nodes with axillary bud s,immature leaves,embryonic axes and cotyledons.Primary somatic embryogenesis ca n begin with embryonic axes,cotyledons,immature leaves and flowers.Based on prim ary somatic embryos,cyclic somatic embryogenesis system can be developed.
