Establishment and micropropagation of axenic in vitro cultures of salt marsh grasses within the genus #Sporobolus

The background photo shows a salt marsh in Cape Cod during low tide, dominated by Sporobolus alterniflorus. The sandy bottom is visible and covered with Atlantic sand fiddler crabs (Leptuca pugilator). The image highlights the engineering role of Sporobolus along the East Coast of the United States, where it provides habitat and protection for numerous animal species. The bottom-left inset displays Sporobolus plants growing in vitro in 1 L culture jars under artificial full-spectrum light, with one plant per jar. Vitroplants are growing in agar covering approximately 1 inch of the bottom of the jar. The top-right inset shows a close-up of a vitroplant producing new shoots and roots, confirming that in vitro multiplication of Sporobolus is feasible. Photo credit: Elena Lopez Peredo
