Abstract
Micropropagation techniques are important for clonal multiplication, germplasm improvement, and gene conservation of three commercially cultivated and medicinally important Vaccinium species: cranberries, blueberries, and lingonberries. The in vitro propagation of Vaccinium species using axillary bud proliferation and adventitious shoot regeneration has been investigated in a number of previous studies. The morphogenesis seems to be highly dependent on plant growth regulators and media used for culture, which is again genotype specific. This review presents the progress in-depth of various aspects of Vaccinium propagation in vitro for its commercial production. It also discusses the issues that still need to be addressed to utilize the full potential of plant tissue culture techniques in mass propagation of Vaccinium species.
