In vitro establishment of Annona crassiflora and Annona squamosa

Species from the Annonaceae family can be propagated by seeds and vegetative methods. However, most of the species in this family have inhibited germination as a result of the dormancy imposed by the presence of inhibiting substances, which slow down the germination process, which generally takes place irregularly, making it impossible to produce seedlings in a homogeneous way. One of the alternatives for propagation is asexual reproduction via in vitro cloning or micropropagation.
