Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Media Optimization: This objective focuses on identifying optimal conditions of the growth media from the stage of multiplication to transfer of the rooted plantlets to soil in a green house. 2. Photobiological Regulation of Rootstock Multiplication: Light has the capacity to regulate plant growth. 3. Temporary Immersion System (TIS): This is a novel micropropagation technology that simulates plant growth in nature, only in an abbreviated timeline. The objective is to compare plant growth rates in TIS vs traditional media.
