Basic aspects of in vitro organogenesis
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Plant regeneration in vitro of Pinus genus by somatic embryogenesis has been long studied. However, the in v itro establishment of plants from apical shoots and in vitro multiplication of these shoots have been an alternative less studied. Therefore the production of plants, regenerated by organogenesis, able to survive in the acclimatization phase, has been limited. This work aims to present a review of the literature about the in vitro propagation by organogenesis of the genus Pinus, including an analysis of the main factors that could, somehow, affect the success of plant regeneration by this method with emphasis on in vitro and ex vitro root formati on.
