Abstract

Photoautotrophic micropropagation systems do not include sugar in the culture media. This characteristic provides advantages to scale up the micropropagation systems comparing photomixotrophic micropropagation systems. A closed, large-scale photoautotrophic micro-propagation for transplant production system has been developed at Chiba University, Japan. New concepts and technologies were adapted to produce high quality transplants at minimum usage of resources, and as scheduled. Newly developed software for production management was used to enhance the efficiency of the transplant production system. Currently, virus-free transplants of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) are vegetatively propagated and produced under sterilized conditions in this system. This system can also be used for production of transplants of any other species including horticultural and woody plants with a minimum of modification.
