Agaves are cultivated in Mexico as a source of industrial products such as fibers, nutritional supplements, and alcoholic beverages. Due to the demand for plant material, its long-life cycle, and the need to avoid predation on its natural populations, in vitro micropropagation represents a good option for agaves. Plant tissue culture has been successfully used to micropropagate selected elite individuals from plants of various Agave species of economic interest. However, it is necessary to implement systems that lower production costs without losing the quality of the plantlets obtained. This chapter describes the BioMINT™ bioreactor as an alternative for the micropropagation of agaves in the different stages of the micropropagation process.
龙舌兰在墨西哥被广泛种植，用于生产纤维、营养补充剂和酒精饮料等工业产品。由于对植物材料的需求、其长生命周期以及避免对其自然种群的捕食，体外微繁殖是龙舌兰的一个很好的选择。植物组织培养已成功用于从各种具有经济价值的龙舌兰属植物中选择优良个体进行微繁殖。然而，有必要实施降低生产成本而不降低所获得的幼苗质量的系统。本章介绍了 BioMINT™生物反应器，它是龙舌兰在微繁殖过程的不同阶段微繁殖的一种替代方法。
