Abstract
Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), which is a
widely cultivated, important economic fruit crop with
nutritive and medicinal importance, has emerged as a
model horticultural crop in this post-genomic era. Apple
cultivation is heavily dependent on climatic condition and
is susceptible to several diseases caused by fungi, bacteria,
viruses, insects, etc. Extensive research work has been
carried out to standardize tissue culture protocols and utilize
them in apple improvement. We review the in vitro
shoot multiplication, rooting, transformation and regeneration
methodologies in apple and tabulate various such
protocols for easy reference. The utility and limitation of
transgenesis in apple improvement have also been summarized.
The concepts of marker-free plants, use of nonantibiotic
resistance selectable markers, and cisgenic and
intragenic approaches are highlighted. Furthermore, the
limitations, current trends and future prospects of tissue
culture-mediated biotechnological interventions in apple
improvement are discussed.
