Differing Sucrose Requirements for In-vitro Conservation of Cassava Genotypes

Henry Y. Sintim & Richard Akromah · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2015

Field conservation of vegetative propagated crops poses a major problem to curators of germplasm, especially in developing countries. An alternative method to ensure security of germplasm is the use of tissue culture techniques in media formulated for slow growth. However, tissue...

In vitro Control of Microbial Contamination of Sweet Potatoes Cultured with Nodal Explants

Solomon Amissah, Priscilla A. Coleman, Henry Y. Sintim & Richard Akromah · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

The use of nodal explants for in vitro propagation promotes direct regeneration of cultures, but may cause high levels of microbial contamination due to large size of the explants. We evaluated different surface sterilization protocols, and inclusion of antibiotics and fungicides...
