The general goal will be the comparison of different bioreactors for liquid culture in TIS (Plantform, SETIS, ElecTIS) compared to the conventional methods of in vitro propagation in gelled (semi-solid) medium, working with fruit-trees species of high economic importance in the nursery activity of Albania and Italy (native and wild cultivars of cherry and almond, peach rootstocks, myrtle and pomegranate).
The objectives are the following:
1. stabilization of effective in vitro culture protocols by conventional techniques of solidified and “double phase” media;
2. knowledge, application and comparison of innovative bioreactors for liquid culture in TIS (Plantform, SETIS, ElecTIS);
3. selection of the best bioreactor for TIS and comparison with conventional in vitro propagation methods based on the use of semi-solid medium as for: quality of the material, costs of production, implementation in commercial micropropagation laboratory;
4. awareness of specialists, young researchers, farmers and fruit-tree nurseries for the advantages and benefits of liquid culture by TIS by the organization of specific conferences/workshops, and the publication of scientific and technical notes;
5. enrichment of in vitro culture laboratories in Albania (laboratories in FNS, Tirana, and of CATT, Vlora) with the innovative technology for Albania;
6. widening knowledge in the potentiality of liquid culture in TIS by its application to Albanian and Italian valuable fruit germplasm.
