Abstract
In order to maximize yield, Spathiphyllum, an ornamental plant, was cultured in vitro in novel culture vessels termed Vitron. The best growth was obtained by culturing plantlets on sugar-free liquid medium under CO2 enrichment (3 000 µmol mol−1 24 h−1 d−1) at a low photon flux density (PPFD of 45 µmol m−2 s−1), suggesting that the novel Vitron culture system is suitable for the photoautotrophic micropropagation of Spathiphyllum.
