MATURE SEED-DERIVED REGENERATION AND IN PLANTA TRANSFORMATION OF TROPICAL MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop, but the application of genetic transformation in tropical germplasm is constrained by genotype-dependent regeneration and the limited availability of suitable explants. The present study evaluated mature seed-derived split internodes as an alternative explant source for...
