Hii, i need help, i have to come up with new idea using plant tissue culture, so i am thinking about producing a dwarf seedless rambutan tree. My idea is that to produce triploid plant which resulting in seedless fruit, then took the shoot meristem of tryploid plant and micrografting it to produce dwarf variety. Is this idea can be accepted?
If it is just a wild idea based on incomplete understanding of genetics, breeding and botany, that's good as an idea and better not to build it up any further. Plant breeding is not easy and straingh-forward as it has been defined in the question, not impossible but require experience in genetics and breeding. Check out stories about seedless Litchies about how it was developed and how long did it take to reach the seedless stage.
The protocol that you wish to follow you may may post than we can think how to help anf proceed further in your ambitious project
Faizah Zainal , in citrus , we have succeeded in developing seedlessness throgh ploidy manipulation , especially through triploid . In kinnow , we have succeeeded for introducing seedlessness and salinity tolerance , so your concept is quite valid , keep trying and keep learning , thats how science prospers...researcher learns , but scientific soundnes is svery important . ..good luck
