SPECIALIZED METABOLITES AND USE OF CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES IN THE IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF ROSA SPP

Abstract

Rose (Rosa spp.) is a species native to Asia and is considered one of the most popular flowers in the world, as well as being the most widely cultivated flower. Roses belong to the family Rosaceae and the genus Rosa, with more than 100 species, and thousands of varieties, hybrids and cultivars. World flower production occupies more than 190,000 hectares, representing a figure of 16,000 million dollars. Currently, the in vitro culture technique is used to commercially propagate a multitude of ornamental species and other economically important plants, with higher multiplication rates in a shorter time using traditional techniques and free of pests and diseases. In vitro cultivation of roses, research has been carried out on direct organogenesis, indirect organogenesis, callus induction, cell culture, among others. The concentration of secondary metabolites accumulates as a function of geographic distribution and seasonal variation. Therefore, the objectives of the present article are to mention the different types of in vitro culture in roses and the in vitro production of secondary metabolites biosynthesized by roses.
