    Abstract:
    This study's aim was to establish a protocol for the micropropagation of G. skinneri using temporary immersion system (TIS). Different concentrations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (0, 1, 2, and 3 mg L-1), three different systems of cultivate semi-solid (SS) and liquid media under partial (PI) and temporary immersion systems (TIS), different compositions of the inorganic salts, and the number of subcultures were evaluated. The results showed a maximum of 16.56 shoots per explant obtained through TIS, adjusting all the parameters evaluated in our study. One higher number of shoots per explant was observed in the micropropagation of G. skinneri TIS compared to SS and PI. While the use of 3 mg L-1 of BAP + MS (Murashige and Skoog) media was better than 3 mg L-1 of BAP VW (Vacint and Went) for the generation of a greater number of shoots per explant, 6.33 and 2.72, respectively. The immersion frequency of 2 min every 4 h allowed the production to be scaled to 8.54 shoots per explant. While it was necessary to perform three subcultures every 30 days, to obtain 16.56 shoots per explant, a rooting phase was not required due to the generation of adventitious roots during the different subcultures. However, a phase of elongation of the regenerated plants with ½ MS + GA3 (gibberellic acid) was needed to guarantee 100% survival in the process of acclimatization. In conclusion, this plant production system can be applied for the commercial micropropagation of this species for ornamental purposes, as well as for its reintroduction in protected natural areas.
