Abstract

Calla lily (Zantedeschia spp.) is an herbaceous flowering plant that belongs to Araceae family with worldwide distribution. Native to the swampy or mountainous regions of South Africa. It’s is valued as ornamental plant due to its extraordinary sphate and decorative leaves. However, its production has decreased due to the presence of diseases. In vitro culture of plant cells and tissues has been successfully applied to precisely diagnose and control diseases to produce disease-free plants. This study analyzes information from in vitro techniques applied to this crop, highlighting phytopathological aspects. The description of the different stages of in vitro culture, obtention and propagation of healthy or pathogen-free plants was considered. In vitro culture has proven to be an effective tool for rapid clonal propagation and multiplication of Zantedeschia spp. A sanitary management before the in vitro culture is recommended.
