In Vitro Techniques to Domesticate Mortiño (<i>Vaccinium floribundum</i> Kunth) and Other <i>Vaccinium</i> Species: A Review
Nataly Tatiana Coronel Montesdeoca | Guillermo Alexander Jácome Sarchi | Rafael Martínez | Francisca Hernández
<i>Vaccinium floribundum</i> Kunth, also known as mortiño, is of cultural, gastronomic, pharmaceutical and ecological importance in the Andes due to its regenerative capacity to preserve vegetation after destructive fires. The main limitation for the production of mortiño fruits is that the plant has not been domesticated or cultivated, which could pose risks to the species and the paramos where it lives. In vitro culture is a crucial technique for propagating horticultural crops where factors such as the concentration, growth regulators, medium and explant parameters must be optimized to ensure the success of in vitro propagation techniques. This review uses the Prisma methodology, identifying 47 studies on the in vitro cultivation of <i>Vaccinium</i>, but only five studies on the domestication of <i>V. floribundum</i> Kunth using three in vitro cultivation techniques (axillary buds, seed germination and induced callogenesis) were published in Scopus and ScienceDirect. Therefore, the objective is to provide information on in vitro propagation techniques for the domestication of <i>V. floribundum</i> Kunth.
