Sinopsis:
Maguey, Agave salmiana, is an important plant for the “pulque” beverage and functional food industries; however, it has several constraints for elite and homogeneous plant production. In this study, a micropropagation process was established to generate in vitro plants. The effect of the method on metabolite content and antioxidant (AOX) activity in regenerated plants was evaluated. Young germinated plantlets were micropropagated from axillary shoots using Murashige and Skoog médium supplemented with L2 vitamins, 0.04 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 10mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine.Total soluble sugars from the aqueous fractionand total phenolic acids, total saponins, and AO Xactivity of the metanol fraction were determined in wild type (WT) plants, in in vitro (IN) plants, and ex vitro acclimated plants (EN).
