Adaptive features of in vitro-derived plantlets of MD2 pineapple during acclimatization process

Tissue culture-derived planting materials require optimal acclimatization period to ensure high survival rates in the nursery and to save labor and production cost. However, there is little information on how the morphology and physiology of in vitro-derived plantlets can be affected by culture cond...
