Abstract

Passiflora species are important plants widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions due to their diverse economic, nutritional, medicinal, and ornamental uses. Although conventional propagation methods are commonly employed, they are associated with several important limitations, including low multiplication rates, the risk of disease transmission, and genetic variability. Therefore, tissue culture techniques have emerged as an effective alternative, enabling the rapid production of genetically uniform and healthy plant material. However, one of the most critical factors limiting the success of Passiflora micropropagation is contamination. When not effectively controlled, contamination can inhibit regeneration and shoot development, and may ultimately lead to explant loss. For this reason, proper evaluation of contamination sources and the selection of appropriate sterilization and control methods are essential for a successful micropropagation process. This review comprehensively examines contamination problems encountered during the micropropagation of Passiflora species, the possible sources of contaminants, and the chemical and physical approaches used for their control based on current literature.

Özet

Passiflora türleri, ekonomik, gıda, tıbbi ve süs bitkisi olarak sahip oldukları çok yönlü kullanım alanları nedeniyle tropikal ve subtropikal bölgelerde yaygın olarak yetiştirilen önemli bitkilerdir. Geleneksel çoğaltım yöntemleri yaygın olarak kullanılmasına rağmen, düşük çoğalma katsayısı, hastalık bulaşma riski ve genetik varyasyon gibi önemli sınırlılıklar göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, doku kültürü teknikleri, genetik olarak uniform ve sağlıklı bitki materyalinin hızlı ve güvenilir üretimini mümkün kılan etkili bir alternatif olarak öne çıkmıştır. Ancak Passiflora mikroçoğaltımının başarısını sınırlayan en kritik faktörlerden biri kontaminasyondur. Etkin bir şekilde kontrol altına alınamadığında kontaminasyon, rejenerasyon ve sürgün gelişimini olumsuz yönde etkileyerek eksplant kaybına neden olabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, kontaminasyon kaynaklarının doğru şekilde tanımlanması ve uygun sterilizasyon ile kontrol stratejilerinin belirlenmesi, başarılı bir mikroçoğaltım süreci açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu derleme çalışmasında, Passiflora türlerinin mikroçoğaltımı sırasında karşılaşılan kontaminasyon problemleri, potansiyel kontaminasyon kaynakları ve bunların kontrolüne yönelik kimyasal and fiziksel yaklaşımlar güncel literatür ışığında kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirilmiştir.
