ABSTRACT

Callus is a relatively undifferentiated tissue consisting primarily of parenchymatous cells. Callus tissue can serve as an experimental system to investigate and solve a broad range of basic research problems in plant cytology, physiology, morphology, anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, and genetics. It can also be used to resolve applied research problems in organogenesis and embryogenesis related to the propagation of horticultural and agronomic plants.
