Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy has mango callus browning been studied as a barrier to genetic transformation?
Research has found rapid browning and tissue death after contact with the transformation bacterium, limiting recovery of usable transformed material. This is a biological response that researchers investigate alongside the delivery method. It helps explain why showing that DNA can enter cells is not enough to establish an efficient multiplication process. The nursery outcome still depends on recovering healthy plants.
