AN APPARATUS FOR SUGARCANE PROPAGATION AND A METHODTHEREOF FIELDOFINVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a field of propagation in plants. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for micropropagation of sugarcane plant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Micropropagation has been extensively used for the rapid multiplication of many plant species. However, the use of this method in sugarcane propagation is restricted by loss or damage of plants when transferred to ex vitro conditions like greenhouse or field. The overall success of tissue culture raised plants depends on successful hardening and transplantation in the field. After obtaining the in vitro raised plants, they are required to be carefully hardened and acclimatized. The readily available nutrient supply and controlled environmental conditions during in vitro cultures do not require any change in anatomical and morphological conditions in micro propagated plants.
However, plantlets which are cultured in vitro on agar-based media wilt rapidly on transfer to normal, green house or field conditions. Poor water uptake and rapid loss of water through transpiration may lead to high mortality rate unless plantlets are acclimatized by gradually exposing plantlets to reduced humidity and increased light intensity. The process of establishment of plantlets is compounded by damage to the delicate shoots and roots during transplantation. Moreover, good drainage and sufficient aeration of roots are essential factors for the luxuriant growth of the transferred plants.
Micropropagation of sugarcane is achieved through the establishment of explants, their initial growth in vitro followed by transplanting in greenhouse or field. During in vitro culture, plantlets grow under relatively high air humidity with low irradiance in closed vessels in order to prevent microbial contamination and to decrease air turbulence which prevent inflowof C02 and outflow of gaseous plant products from the vessels.
The final stage of in vitro clonal propagation involves hardening and establishment of plantlets to the ex vitro environment in soil. Inevitably, tissue culture conditions which promote rapid growth and proliferation result in formation of abnormal plants with altered leaf morphology, mesophyll structure, poor photosynthetic activity, malfunctioning of stomata and reduced cuticular waxes. During transfer of plants to soil and hardening, desiccation of shoots due to substantial loss of water through cuticular and stomatal transpiration and change from heterotrophic to autotrophic mode in nutrition are the major reasons for higher shoot mortality.
Therefore, methods for acclimatization of plants under greenhouse or field conditions need to be optimized to achieve higher rates of survival during temperature extremes.
Existing method leads to excessive water loss in the micro-propagated plants resulting in lower survival rates in the field.
In order to overcome the above-mentioned limitations, there exists a need to develop an apparatus to study the effect of the single shade net on hardening of selected sugarcane genotypes in terms of temperature, light intensity and humidity.
The technical advancements disclosed by the present invention overcomes the limitations and disadvantages of existing and convention systems and methods.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The optimum response for hardening of Co 99004 is in single shade for all characters except shoot length (36.93) and number of leaves (3.33) for which polyhouse was found to be the best. The degree of adaptation is to be increased by growing shoots in reduced humidity before transfer, but shoot growth and rooting capacity may decline progressively as humidity is lowered.
The response of ninth genotype Co62175 under different hardening cage conditions. The single shade net showed better response for all characteristics except for the number of leaves (Table 5). For number of leaves the highest value is observed (3.07) in double shade net and better survivability recorded ( 3 2 .5 2 %) in polyhouse in the genotype Co 62175.

For these two traits CoVC 10-43-06 exhibited better response under double shade net with a greater number of leaves (3.60) in polyhouse condition.
The response of thirteenth genotype CoVC 10-38-07 under different hardening conditions. The single shade net showed better response for chlorophyll content, root volume, number of roots and root length except shoot length (35.67), number of leaves (3.13) and mortality ( 2 1. 6 3 %) and for which double shade net is the best.
The fourteenth genotype Co 86032 under different hardening conditions. Among three hardening conditions single shade net showed better response for the genotype Co 86032 in terms of chlorophyll content, root volume, number of roots and root length and exhibited higher values for shoot length (21.13) and number of leaves (3.60) under double shade net however, polyhouse is found to be the best for mortality percentage and found that higher temperature (>38 0 C) is not optimal for chlorophyll biosynthesis as it is partly due to impairment of 5- aminolevulinic acid biosynthesis ( 7 8 %) and Protochlorophyllide.
The fifteenth genotype VCF 0517 under different hardening conditions. The double shade net showed better response for characteristics shoot length, number of leaves, chlorophyll content and mortality percentage except root volume (2.00), number of roots (12.37) and root length (7.33), for which single shade net is found best.
The sixteenth genotype CoVC 07-34-05 under different hardening conditions. The Single shade net is optimum for the genotype CoVC 07-34-05 with high root volume (2.40), number of roots (12.23) and root length (6.03). Double shade net showed better response for number of leaves (3.00), chlorophyll content (22.27) and mortality percentage ( 2 1. 9 2 %) and shoot length (24.47) is highest in polyhouse.
