Abstract:
Signaling mechanisms have been elicitated towards the priming and biopriming stages during micropropagation in Temporary Immersion Bioreactors (TIBs) in sugarcane as model plant. CO2-rich TIBs induces a photomixotrophic condition adequate for the production of natural phenolic metabolites, altogether increasing multiplication rates and functional plants rooting. When combined with Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus inoculations during transplanting, originate a significant improvement of the percentage of plant adaptability to natural conditions. A more efficient micropropagation process has been optimized on the basis of an accurate exploitation of the natural plant physiology.
