Company research projects supported by PIPE Program

• Abstract

  The initial objective of this project, in its first phase, is based on the evaluation of the efficiency of three types of bioreactor with regard to the technology employed: temporary immersion, bubbling and nebulization. The equipment will be used in the in vitro micropropagation of bananas, in comparison with the traditional procedure. The evaluation of the bioreactors’ efficiency will b…

  Staged production of banana seedlings in three models of bioreactor. Challenges of optimizing the marriage of micropropagation techniques for the supply of healthy genetically improved banana, AP.PIPE

• Abstract

  In the floristry business, the variety of cut gerbera daisies offers great commercial value due to their attractive coloring, size and format. There currently exists on the producer market a wide variety of modern gerbera cultivars obtained by means of genetic improvement. But these plants are imported, which leads to the high cost of the seedling (around a third of the product’s final co…

  Production of intervariety hybrids and segregating populations of Gerbera jamesonil, with help from molecular biology techniques, aiming to produce new commercial cultivars, AP.PIPE

• Abstract

  In order to have access to the international flower and fruit markets, which turn over around US$ 86 billion in the entire world, it is necessary to pay close attention not only to quality, but also to productivity, which is the other competitive determinant in external markets. In order to do this, it is important to incorporate in the production process all the technologybased knowledge…
