In vitro regeneration of cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum, Solanaceae) cultivars for commercial production

A. R. Schuelter, Grunvald, A. K., Júnior, A. T. Amaral, da Luz, C. L., Luz, C. L., Gonçalves, L. M., Stefanello, S., and Scapim, C. A., In vitro regeneration of cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum, Solanaceae) cultivars for commercial production, vol. 8, pp. 963-975, 2009.

Cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum Dunal) is a solanaceous shrub native to the Amazon region that produces an edible fruit. This species has numerous advantages, particularly a high nutritional value and productivity. However, due to irregular germination and rapid loss of seed viability, there are few plantations for production on a large scale. Development of alternative propagation strategies is essential for the production of homogeneous seedlings of genotypes with superior agronomic performance.
