Abstract:
A simple and efficient garlic in vitro shoot regeneration protocol has been developed. This system uses axenic root tips cultivated from the beginning in the presence of light and does not require any change or refreshing of the original medium during the entire process. The application of light from the beginning of the culture process did not affect the callus formation rate but did significantly improve the explant regeneration ability. In a 2-month period it was possible to obtain up to 250 shoots per gram of callus.
