“…Several novel methods for rapid propagation of enset are found in the literature. Alternative pathways for the rapid propagation of enset are discussed extensively by Diro and Van Staden (2004), including zygotic embryo culture (Bezuneh, 1980;Negash et al, 2000Negash et al, , 2001Diro and Van Staden, 2003), shoot tip culture (George and Sherrington, 1984;Nehra and Kartha, 1994;Afza et al, 1996;Morpurgo et al, 1996;Zeweldu, 1997;Negash et al, 2000), and callus culture and somatic embryogenesis (George and Sherrington, 1984;Zeweldu, 1997;Afza et al, 1996;Morpurgo et al, 1996;Mathew et al, 2000;Mathew and Philip, 2003).…”

Introduction-This review focuses on the enset seed systems in Ethiopia and explores opportunities to improve the system. Cultivated enset is predominantly vegetatively propagated by farmers. Reproduction of an enset plant from seed is seldom practiced by farmers and has been reported only from the highlands of Gardula. Seedlings arising from seed are reported to be less vigorous than the suckers obtained through vegetative propagation. Rhizomes from immature plants, between 2 and 6 years old, are preferred for the production of suckers. The average number of suckers produced per rhizome ranges from 40 to 200, depending on soil conditions, cultivar type, size and age of the parent plant, amount of rainfall, land preparation and time of planting. Traditional macro-propagation of enset suckers involves both men and women farmers. Sucker propagation and transplanting activities often contribute to the dissemination or maintenance of pests (e.g., the enset root mealy bug or nematodes) and diseases (e.g., enset bacterial wilt). Conclusion-Macro-and micro-propagation are useful technologies to improve the efficiency of sucker production and to provide clean replacement plants in locations where diseases have affected plantations or to locally multiply newly introduced cultivars for distribution.

“…It is a generally rare process as compared with indirect somatic embryogenesis. In indirect somatic embryogenesis, somatic cells are dedifferentiated into an unorganized mass of dividing cells, termed callus, which develops somatic embryos (Mathew and Philip, 2003). Somatic embryos are bipolar and similar to typical zygotic embryos.…”

La cúrcuma (Curcuma longa L.) es una importante planta medicinal perteneciente a la familia Zingiberaceae. Es una planta triploide estéril, pero es una planta herbácea vital principalmente debido a sus rizomas subterráneos que se utilizan para diversos fines debido a sus propiedades físicas y químicas. La cúrcuma se propaga vegetativamente a través de los rizomas, sin embargo, la tasa de multiplicación es baja. Por otro lado, las técnicas de propagación in vitro se están utilizando con éxito para la propagación masiva de especies de Zingiber directa o indirectamente a través de organogénesis o embriogénesis somática. La regeneración directa de plantas es el método deseado para regenerar plantas genéticamente estables. En la embriogénesis somática directa, las células somáticas se diferencian directamente en embriones somáticos que tienen estructuras bipolares. Los estudios sobre la embriogénesis somática directa de la cúrcuma son muy limitados, por lo tanto, esta revisión resume la comprensión actual de los diferentes aspectos de la embriogénesis somática de la cúrcuma y los principales factores reguladores que la afectan.

Enset is a staple food for over 20 million people via its starch-rich corm and pseudostem, yet it is virtually unknown outside a narrow zone of cultivation in southern Ethiopia. Due to acculturation and urbanization coupled with climate change, emerging pests and the introduction of new crops, the extensive indigenous knowledge associated with this crop is in danger of being lost, imperilling the future food security and prosperity of millions of Ethiopians. Here, we synthesize the current state of enset ethnobotanical research, identifying key gaps and challenges, and provide a framework for further enset research to safeguard this important, but neglected, tropical crop. SummaryEnset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is the major starch staple of the Ethiopian Highlands, where its unique attributes enhance the food security of approximately 20 million people and have earned it the title "The Tree Against Hunger".Yet enset-based agriculture is virtually unknown outside of its narrow zone of cultivation, despite growing wild across much of East and Southern Africa. Here, we review historical production data to show that the area of land under enset production in Ethiopia has reportedly increased 46% in two decades, whilst yield increased 12fold over the same period, making enset the second most produced crop species in Ethiopia-though we critically evaluate potential issues with these data. Furthermore, we address a major challenge in the development and wider cultivation of enset, by reviewing and synthesizing the complex and fragmented agronomic and ethnobotanic knowledge associated with this species; including farming systems, processing methods, products, medicinal uses and cultural importance. Finally, we provide a framework to improve the quality, consistency and comparability of data collected across culturally diverse enset-based agricultural systems to enhanced sustainable | 213 BORRELL Et aL.
