Role of Mycorrhiza in In Vitro Micropropagation of Plants

  • Chapter
Book cover Techniques in Mycorrhizal Studies

Abstract

Vegetative multiplication is the easiest way for cloned propagation of desirable plants of specific genotypes. In certain cases however vegetative propagation suffers because the microcuttings are recalcitrant to rooting. In this direction, micropropagation is another widely used technique for mass production of important plants of economic importance. Such in vitro raised plants, however, require acclimatization phase that supports hardening and improves the initial transplant shock for survival after transfer in field conditions. Hardening is essential because the weak root system of in vitro plants hampers the uptake of essential nutrients to the maximum from the soil. However, it is essential that for transplantation and establishment of micropropagated plants the existence of mutualistic symbiosis of mycorrhizae and other associated rhizobacteria normally present in the soil to be inoculated. This would promise improved plant survival and performance and lesser use of synthetic fertilizers.
