In contrast to plant tissue culture procedures which promote callus proliferation, cell suspensions and plant propagation, the culture of flower and inflorescence primordia can be designed to favor normal growth and differentiation. The technique has revealed details of the nutritional requirements for development and the biochemical features of organ maturation and differentiation (Tepfer et al., 1962; Raman and Greyson, 1978; Bilderback, 1971). Prominent in these investigations has been the use of the plant growth regulators frequently associated with sexual differentiation (Galun et al. 1962). |
