Analysis of cytological activities in sugar beet calluses

The present study focus on the results of cytological studies of embryogenic (E) and Non-Embryogenic (NE) calluses as the main tissues for cytological studies and the cells of primary root meristem derived from seedling or in vitro cloned plant, as reference tissues. The cellular parameters, such as...
