VALDES-INFANTE HERRERO, Juliette et al. Biotechnology as a tool for propagation, con-servation and genetic breeding in guava. Rev. colomb. biotecnol [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.7-19. ISSN 0123-3475.

Biotechnologies contribute positively and signifi¬cantly in the propagation, conservation and breeding programs of many plant species. From them, tissue culture, linkage maps and QTLs detection for interesting genes have been proved to be of great utility for these purposes. In this sense, a technique for in vitro multiplication of wild guava was standardized in three culture phases: establishment, multiplication and rooting. This technique constituted a useful way for propagation, germplasm conservation and genetic breeding in the specie. A method for short-medium term conservation was also standardized. On the other hand, a genetic linkage map was constructed for the specie using AFLP and SSR markers. The 11 groups of the genetic linkage map and the 50 QTLs related with vegetative and internal/external fruit characters constitute the starting point for genes cloning of agricultural interest and the future imple¬mentation of markers assisted selection in guava. Also, the 176 candidate sequences for resistance-gene-like (RGL) and plant development (MADS-box and HOMEO-box) genes detected can be of great utility in linkage map saturation, variability studies in this crop, as well as in the solution of problems rela¬ted with yielding and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
