Protocol to achieve photoautotrophic coconut plants cultured in vitro with improved performance ex vitro

Methods Mol Biol. 2006:318:131-44. doi: 10.1385/1-59259-959-1:131.

Abstract

This chapter presents a protocol that will show ways to obtain photoautotrophic coconut in vitro plants and outlines protocol for improving photosynthesis and field performance. This protocol involves reducing sucrose concentration from the growing medium while simultaneously increasing light intensity and enriching the CO2 concentration of growth rooms.
