This book provides two basic concepts on plant propagation and
value-added transplant production in a closed structure with
artificial lighting: 1) photoautotrophic (sugar-free medium,
photosynthetic or inorganic nutrition) micropropagation systems,
and 2) closed transplant production systems with minimum resource
consumption and environmental pollution. This book also describes
the methodology, technology and practical techniques employed in
both systems, which have been commercialized recently in some Asian
countries such as China and Japan. We often use a closed structure
such as a tissue culture vessel, a culture room, a growth chamber,
a plant factory with lamps, and a greenhouse to propagate plants
and produce transplants. Main reasons why we use such a closed
structure is: 1) higher controllability of the environment for
desired plant growth, 2) easier protection of plants from damage by
harsh physical environment, pathogens, insects, animals, etc, 3)
easier reduction in resource consumption for environmental control
and protection, and 4) higher quality and productivity of plants at
a lower cost, compared with the plant propagation and transplant
production under rain, wind and sunlight shelters and in the open
fields. Thus, there should be some knowledge, discipline,
methodology, technology and problems to be solved on plant
propagation and transplant production common to those closed
structures, regardless of the types and sizes of the closed
structure.
