“…More recently Polne-Fuller & Gibor (1987) reported successful callus development and regeneration of new Bradley and Cheney (1990) using factorial experiments also showed that the PGRs used in this study would result in callus formation in Agardhiella subulata. Success in callus production of agarophytes has been more wide spread and at least 11 species have been studied (Gusev et al, 1987;Garcia-Reina et al, 1988;Liu & Gordon, 1987;Liu et al, 1990).…”

Three forms of the iota-producing carrageenophyte, Eucheuma denticulatum, and four forms of the kappa-producing carrageenophyte, Kappaphycus alvarezii, obtained from seaweed farms in the Philippines have been grown in the laboratory under unialgal and axenic conditions. Comparison of media indicates that seed stocks of both species can be cultured using enriched seawater media ranging from ESS and SWMD-1 to inexpensive soil extract (Erdshreiber's) or holding in sterile seawater for up to three weeks. Micropropagation has been successful with at least two forms of each species resulting in clonal propagation from axenic explants within 4 to 8 weeks. Callus development and branch regeneration has also been induced in two forms of each species. The results indicate that culture facilities in the farming areas of the Philippines could maintain high-yielding and rapidly growing seed stock for the seaweed farmers.

“…Migita (1988) found that cut fragments of basal crusts of Grateloupia filicina can easily and rapidly regenerate new crust. According to Polne-Fuller & Gibor (1987) the development of this callus like structures both in presence and absence of plant growth regulators is due to the wound healing process in seaweeds. Plant growth regulators also promoted callus growth in Kappaphycus alvarezii (Dawes and Koch 1991;Dawes et al 1993).…”

“…Polne-Fuller & Gibor (1987) described callus formation in nine species of rhodophytes, including species belonging to the genera Porphyra, Gelidium, Gracilaria, Eucheuma, Gigartina and Prionitis, but regeneration from callus was not observed. Similar results were reported by Gusev et al (1987) for species of Ceramium, Laurencia, Gracilaria, Furcellaria and Phyllophora and also by Liu & Gordon (1987) for Pterocladiella capillacea.…”

Micropropagation as a tool for sustainable utilization and conservation of populations of Rhodophyta. Micropropagation, or in vitro clonal propagation, allows the production of a large number of individuals within a short period. These micropropagated clones could be used as seedlings for seaweed cultivation, avoiding collection from natural beds. Consequently, there has been an increasing interest in micropropagation as a tool for preservation of populations of marine red algae on the Brazilian coast and for the sustainable production of raw material for commercial exploration. This paper reviews the literature on tissue culture and micropropagation of red algae published during the three last decades. Based on the literature, we can conclude that the regeneration process is complex and diversified in different species of Rhodophyta and that the success of micropropagation depends on this process. Species belonging to the orders Bangiales and Ceramiales showed low potential for regeneration, while Gigartinales species showed the highest potential for regeneration. Micropropagation of commercially important red algae is fundamental for the conservation of natural populations by providing seedlings for cultivation and for germplasm collections, both for the conservation of genetic diversity and for biotechnological applications.
