| dc.description.abstract | Micropropagation techniques have the potential to deliver
large amounts of propagules of vegetatively propagated
plantain and banana, enabling the rapid dissemination of
land races and new varieties resulting from breeding
programs. However, a critical stage in the realization of this
potential is postflask management, in order to rear the in
vitro plantlets to a stage where field establishment is assured.
This manual provides a stage-by-stage practical guide to
postflask management beginning at the first stage of removal
from the tissue culture facility through to the final stage of
field establishment. The authors have drawn largely upon
their own practical experience of this process, working in
both lowland and mid-altitude humid environments.
It is intended that this manual will be used by the technicians
who are practically involved in the dissemination of plantain
and banana germplasm. |
