Micropropagation of plants is a multibillion dollar industry being practiced in hundreds of small and large nurseries and biotechnology laboratories throughout the world. However, there are also many problems associated with the commercial produciton of micropropagated clone-plantlets. In commercial tissue culture laboratories, the most commonly used light sources for micropropagation are fluorescent lamps. However, the serious problem in facilities is high electric consumption for lighting and air-conditioning which make micropropagation more costly. To reduce the production cost,three low power consumption light sources: such as light emitting diodes (LED), cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL), and Side Light Hollow System (SILHOS) have been recently developed. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether these light sources could be used for micropropagation. The effectiveness and usefulness of using such novel radiation systems as compared to that of conventional fluorescent system for micropropagation will be discussed.
