A novel combination of in vitro propagation and hydroponic culture for hybrid cacao (Theobroma cacao) plants
Premise
Currently, there is a lack of controlled cultivation methods for cacao (Theobroma cacao), a plant species with high commercial value. One major concern is the tendency of cacao plants to accumulate high concentrations of cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal with high toxicity to living organisms.
Methods and Results
We describe a new two-step method for the propagation of hybrid cacao plants, consisting of (1) in vitro germination for two weeks, followed by (2) transfer to a vertical hydroponic system for growth under controlled conditions. As a test case, two new cacao hybrids were cultivated in the presence of Cd and showed different levels of tolerance.
Conclusions
Our simple approach offers a new research direction for the controlled cultivation of cacao plants and can potentially be applied to other plants of agronomic interest. Moreover, this method allows the identification of plants that are resistant to various toxic substances, which could then be used in phytoremediation.
期刊介绍:
Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany''s online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.
APPS publishes the following types of articles: (1) Protocol Notes describe new methods and technological advancements; (2) Genomic Resources Articles characterize the development and demonstrate the usefulness of newly developed genomic resources, including transcriptomes; (3) Software Notes detail new software applications; (4) Application Articles illustrate the application of a new protocol, method, or software application within the context of a larger study; (5) Review Articles evaluate available techniques, methods, or protocols; (6) Primer Notes report novel genetic markers with evidence of wide applicability.
