“…In grapevine most of the approaches are being performed by using embryogenic cultures from different tissues such as zygotic embryos, leaves, ovaries and anther filaments to provide cells amenable to gene insertion and regeneration (Mezzetti et al, 2002;Dutt et al, 2007;López-Noguera et al, 2009). However, these techniques are highly genotype dependent and for many cultivars they have been difficult to obtain successful results (Dutt et al, 2007). Moreover, it is considered that anther filaments, as commonly employed in grapevine for embryogenic calli, are laborious, cultivar-dependent, depend on availability of immature flowers and may affect strongly the phenotype of the regenerated plantlets (Mezzetti et al, 2002).…”
