In this study, different immersion times were compared for optimization of Chlorophytum borivilianum microtuber production in a RITA (Récipient à Immersion Temporaire Automatique) system. Significantly higher mean number and length of microtubers and growth index were obtained (16, 52 mm and 16, res...
