Requirements of in vitro plantlets produced in a biofactory

Abstract

The objective of the work was establishing the requirements of quality in in vitro sugarcane plantlets in the adaptation stage aimed to determine the nomina l values of the characteristics of substitute quality for this crop. It was used the cultivar C86-51, after t he rooting stage, being the one that was in existence in that period. The percentage of survival and loss was determi ned, coinciding with the transplant stage to the field where the greatest percentage of survival was reached by in vitro plantlets with size from 5 to 7 cm. To develop this work tools of quality like interviews, surveys, ex perts’ method and brain storming applying statisticians that determined the defined characteristics for t he realization of the study. It was recommended to make extensive the results to all the Tissue Culture Plants of the country and to make a diagnosis of quality that allows establishing a procedure for all the crops to marke t
