Description
Peter Chukwurah and co-authors build a lab method to grow new plants of the African bush apple in a 2024 study. The shrub feeds and treats many communities in sub Saharan Africa, yet it is poorly kept safe and has had no breed improvement. A lab system that grows whole plants from small tissue pieces could help save and spread it.
Small stem and seed stem pieces were placed in a standard growth medium with plant hormones. One hormone mix worked best, giving many shoots from each piece, and stem pieces gave more shoots than seed pieces. A second mix worked less well. Some seed pieces grew into full plants even with no hormones at all.
