Review Biotechnological techniques applied to fruit crops, as a valuable way to rescue and preserve these species
Main Article Content
Abstract
among natural vegetables. They along with garden crops
provide a lot of vitamins and minerals; thus, they should be
present in every meal. Fruits are used as CO2 reservoir, in
biodiversity increment and ecological compensation areas;
besides, they are appreciated for fresh consumption, juices
and pulps. In Cuba, there are favorable edaphoclimatic
conditions for fruit tree growth and development; however, a
large number of them appear at the top of the list of threatened
species in our country, so that urgent measurements of
preservation and management should be taken into account.
Biotechnology may help increase and improve fruit tree
production; this technology enables to obtain a high-yielding
material. Also, tissue culture has given a great support to
agriculture and constitutes a fundamental approach in the
scientific-technological activity; consequently, the application
of in vitro propagation techniques to fruit trees is a valuable
way to multiply, rescue and preserve these species.
