In this study, a protocol for efficient rooting of “Lucknow 49” shoots and plant regeneration was established,and SSR markers were used to assess the genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants
Information presented in
the study indicated that although most micropropagated plants were identical to the mother plant (94.1%), low
variation (5.9%) was detected. While most mutations have no effect on phenotype, those that do may be problematic
if phenotypic uniformity of guava is required.
