Producción de nuevas variedades de "Saintpaulia ionantha" mediante variación somaclonal

En este articulo se presenta un proyecto que describe el proceso productivo completo para generar y comercializar nuevas variedades de violeta africana (Saintpaulia ionantha ), sin utilizar transgenesis. Para ello, se utilizan distintas tecnicas biotecnologicas, basadas generalmente en el cultivo.
