Use of X-ray microtomography for analysis of whole plant regeneration in Passiflora organensis

Resumo

P. organensis is a native species in Brazil and the first species of the genus Passiflora to have its genome completely sequenced. The present work intends to elaborate an efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration of whole plants of P. organensis through tissue culture and the implementation of an innovative technology of 3D image acquisition - the computerized X-ray microtomography (micro-CT).
