The current research of garlic in vitro propagation

Abstract

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a diploid vegetable plant (2n = 16), monocotyledonous, belonging to the Alliaceae family of the genus Allium, being the second most widespread species in its family, after onions. Because garlic does not produce seeds, it is propagated vegetatively by bulbs. The disadvantage of this type of propagation is the transmission of pathogens, viruses and mycoplasmas, with the final result being reduced plant vitality, decreased production and crop quality. In vitro micromultiplication is the method of vegetative propagation with the highest level of propagation through which healthy, disease-free, juvenile plants are obtained. Over time, a lot of research has aimed to streamline this method of multiplication by discovering new disinfectants, new stimulants and diversifying the techniques used.
