Thus, different strategies such as in vitro establishment in different seasons (GARCÍA-RAMÍREZ et al, 2010;SANDHU;WANI;JIMÉNEZ, 2018), use of chemicals to reduce fungal and bacterial contamination under in vitro conditions (GARCÍA-RAMÍREZ et al, 2007;HOULLOU;DE SOUZA, 2016a;BRONDANI et al, 2017;LEMOS, 2017;FURLAN et al, 2018), search for adequate concentrations of auxins, cytokinins and other plant growth regulators capable of increasing shoot multiplication and adventitious rooting (NDIAYE et al, 2006;RAMÍREZ et al, 2012;MALINI;ANANDAKUMAR, 2013), as well as the use of bioreactors (RIBEIRO et al, 2016) have been adopted to develop a viable protocol for in vitro plant production of B. vulgaris. Thus, the aim of the current study was to develop a micropropagation protocol to enable clonal production of B. vulgaris plants.…”
