Temporary immersion bioreactors for mass plant propagation
Abstract
Vegetative propagation techniques are part of conventional agricultural practices, however, they do not satisfy the demand for plants required for self-sufficiency of food in our country, due to the low efficiency of the propagation methods developed. This situation has justified the design of in vitro propagation methodologies, which offer the advantage of obtaining a large number of plants in a relatively short time and space, when compared to conventional asexual propagation methods, in addition to making it possible to free the plants from pathogens. regenerated materials (Ferreira et al., 1998).
