Resumen
This article describes the performance of nodal segments from Habanero
pepper (Capsicum. chinense) during shoot induction and elongation under different
semisolid and liquid culture conditions with various degrees of ventilation in which they
were exposed to different levels of immersion and growth regulators. The ethylene
content in non-ventilated containers, the age of the explant donor plants as well as the
effect of thidiazuron and paclobutrazol on shoot induction and of gibberellic acid and
AgNO3 on shoot elongation were also evaluated. A temporary immersion bioreactor
(BioMINT) was used for the multiplication and elongation of isolated shoots with very
good results. We report an efficient protocol for the in vitro propagation of Habanero
pepper that produces plants with a high survival rate when transplanted to soil.
