Autotrophic Micropropagation

  • Chapter
High-Tech and Micropropagation I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 17))

Abstract

Use of in vitro micropropagated plantlets is currently expanding worldwide; however, its widespread commercial use is still mainly restricted to horticultural crops, because its production cost is relatively high. In order to expand the use of micropropagation beyond horticulture to include agriculture and forestry, a novel mass-propagation system for reducing the production cost by 80-90% is required. The use of autotrophic or sugar-free micropropagation methods described in this chapter may provide a basis for such a system.
