Article Abstract
Objective: To study the condition of plant regeneration and clonal propagation system of Datura metel.
Methods: Stems and leaves of Datura metel were used as explants, effects of different hormones for callus induction and plant regeneration of leaves and clonal propagation system of stems were studied and optimized.
Results: The optimal way to obtain sterile explant for leaves were sterilized in 75% ethyl alcohol for 6 s then 0.1% HgCl2 for 6 min; Stems were sterilized in 75% ethyl alcohol for 8 s then 0.1% HgCl2 for 7 min. The optimal medium for callus of leaves was MS + 1.0 mg/L 6-BA + 0.1 mg/L NAA; The optimal medium for callus induction of clustered buds was MS + 2.0 mg/L 6-BA + 0.2 mg/L NAA; The optimal medium for clonal propagation system of stems was MS + 3.0 mg/L 6-BA + 0.05 mg/L NAA. The best medium for rooting induction was MS + 0.5 mg/L IBA. Transplant survival rate of plantlet was greater than 90% in humus soil-pearlite (5:1).
Conclusion: The condition of plant regeneration and clonal propagation system of Datura metel is established.

Potato bolters are caused by excision of a transposon from the StCDF1.3 allele, resulting in a somatic mutant with late maturity. Somatic mutations during vegetative propagation can lead to novel genotypes, known as sports.

Just as Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance laid the foundation for modern genetics, the emergence of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems has catalyzed a new era in precision genome engineering. CRISPR/Cas has revolutionized rice ( L.) breeding by enabling precise, transgene-free edits to improve yield, nutrition, and stress tolerance.

Vegetatively propagated crops such as cassava, potato, sweetpotato, and yam, or roots and tubers (RTs), play a major role in food security in low- and middle-income countries, yet phytosanitary issues in the tropics lead to substantial yield and quality losses. Challenges to production include institutional limitations that prevent effective responses and potential buildup of pathogens during clonal propagation. Addressing these challenges in a climate change context and diverse sociocultural environments requires a multifaceted approach, including improving access and availability to clean seed by strengthening seed systems; breeding for host resistance and disseminating resistant varieties; strengthening on-farm seed management; and designing effective policies and regulations to deal with seedborne diseases.
