Opis

Optimizing culture conditions for micropropagation of J. curcas L. by using single node and leaf explants. - Induce mutation to produce J. curcas plants tolerant to salinity using gamma rays and EMS. - Study salinity tolerance in new genetic combinations. - Production of J. curcas plants that can be grown on sea water. - Molecular characterization of the obtained plants using RAPD-PCR. - Horizontal expansion of the production of bio-fuel plants to reduce the use of food crops.
