Acclimatization of MD2 Pineapples in Nursery
The in vitro plantlet from tissue culture lab is not suitable to be planted immediately in the field. A physiological adaptation process called acclimatization is carried out in the nursery with a serial of hardening treatments to ensure the plantlets adapted through the stressful external environment before it can be planted in the field.
The ex-lab pineapple plantlets were transferred into the polybag containing planting substrates and supplemented with nutrients in order able to acclimatize through this transition period in the nursery. Under the monitored temperature, humidity and light, the plantlets developed into hardened seedlings after few weeks in the green house. During the acclimatization process, the leaf tissue of plantlet will grow thicker it will strengthen the whole leaf structure. An extracellular hydrophobic layer is also developed to cover aerial epidermis of plantlets providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses.
