Plant Regeneration and Genetic Transformation in Buckwheat (Fagopyrum spp.), A Multipurpose Gluten Free Crop of High Nutraceutical Importance: A Critical Review
Abstract
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum sp.) from family Polygonaceae, with its two main cultivated species (F. esculentumMoench. and F. tataricum) is mostly grown in hilly regions of Eurasia. It is a multipurpose gluten free crop having great nutraceutical value. For plant propagation several reports have been published and significant differences were noticed in culture protocols, genotypes and their success rates. A few studies report genetic transformation in buckwheat with varying degree of success. The present study reviews the in-vitro regeneration and genetic transformation reports in Fagopyrum spp. available in publically available literature and concludes on what needs to be done for the sustainable genetic improvement of buckwheat. A genotype independent high frequency in-vitro regeneration protocol compatible with high end stable genetic transformation is the need of the hour for sustained genetic improvement of this crop.
