Recent Advances in Environment Control in Micropropagation

Micropropagation has been an important method for producing a great number of nursery plantlets/transplants used in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Recent research has shown that controlling environment is important for producing high quality plantlets with efficient use of energy. In this article, we discuss recent topics in environment control in micropropagation. The first sections in this article include control and measurement of in vitro environment, where their effects on plantlet growth and morphology are summarized. In later sections including, recent topics such as low-temperature storage and mathematical modeling and simulation of in vitro growth are introduced.
