Abstract

Yam clones ‚Pacala Duclos’ and ‚Belep’ in temporary immersion system culture showed favourable results on shoot growth stage and in the development of microtubers in comparison with solid culture media. Cultures in temporary immersion systems in both clones obtained a higher microtuber number per plant, with greater fresh weight and diameter in comparison with solid culture media. Besides, 45 and 47% of microtubers greater than 3.0 gFW for ‚Belep’ and ‚Pacala Duclos’ clones respectively, were obtained. Those tubers may be planted without acclimatization and may be stored for a prolonged period of time.
