Abstract

Micropropagation of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) was studied using two procedures: (1) shoot tip culture; (2) indirect somatic embryogenesis from callus.

Shoot tip culture was considered a better method for micropropagation, since it produced plants phenotypically similar to the mother plant and gave a much more rapid multiplication rate when compared to the other procedure.
