Transformation and regeneration of groundnut, and utilization of viral genes to induce resistance to virus diseases : Summary and recommendations

At a meeting organized by ICRISAT in cooperation with the Virology Department, Wageningen Agricultural University, The Netherlands, 14 scientists from six countries met to discuss transformation and regeneration of groundnut and utilization of viral genes to induce resistance to virus diseases. There was a session on transformation and regeneration, in which research on the use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, particle bombardment, and electroporation of protoplasts were presented and discussed. The third session reviewed progress in utilization of viral genes for resistance to groundnut rosette, peanut stripe, peanut clump, and bud necrosis diseases. The final Plenary Session summarized the state of research and indicated where cooperation could be encouraged. A set of recommendations was prepared.
