ESPINOSA REYES, Ángel L. et al. Evaluation of Curcuma longa L. plants obtained by tissue culture in organoponic conditions. Rev. colomb. biotecnol [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.196-202. ISSN 0123-3475.

Turmeric is a plant uses like condiment and coloring. It has multiples medicinal properties. The genetic stability and response in production conditions is an important stage in plant propagation system by tissue culture. In this paper was evaluated the morphoagronomic response of turmeric plants obtained by tissue culture in organoponic conditions. Results show a high survival (100%) for a plant from in vitro culture as well as for the plant obtained by rizomes . A bigger growth of the plants obtained by tissue culture was observed during the whole cultured cycle without changes in the morphologycal characteristic evaluated. The yields of the plants obtained by tissue culture were higher that the plants planted by the traditional method.

Keywords : turmeric; Biothecnology; micropropagation; field evaluation; morphologycal evaluation; agronomic evaluation.
