Abstract

The article discusses the development of three new cultivars of Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) through mutation breeding, resulting in 'UF-Ea-0311', 'UF-Ea-0316', and 'UF-Ea-0317'. These cultivars were selected based on leaf variegation and growth characteristics, with unique color patterns and compact growth forms. The cultivars have been patented and licensed for commercial production, offering unique options for indoor foliage plants. The research highlights the importance of somatic embryogenesis in developing new cultivars and the potential for genetic variability in plant cell culture. [Extracted from the article]
