Application of tissue culture to tuber crops at IITA - p. 29-40

Se resume los 5 anos de investigacion en cultivo de tejidos en el International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Ibadan, Nigeria). Se ha utilizado el cultivo de meristemos para eliminar las enfermedades en los cultivos de tuberculos: las plantas libres de enfermedades se pueden distribuir in vitro a los programas nacionales que las soliciten. Se ha distribuido yuca libre de enfermedades a mas de 30 paises en Africa. Se describen los acuerdos para el intercambio in vitro de germoplasma de cultivos de tuberculos. (RA (extracto)-CIAT) The 5-yr tissue culture research at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Ibadan, Nigeria) is summarized. Meristem culture has been used to eliminate disease in tuber crops: disease- free plants can be distributed in vitro to requesting national programs.
