Summary: In vitro conservation techniques can be utilized for germplasm maintenance. However, few reports on the in vitro conservation of sugarcane species are present in the literature. The objective of this study was to subject sugarcane plants to in vitro under minimal growth conditions and to evaluate the survival, regeneration, and the monitoring of nuclear DNA content levels of the plants. Shoots from 10 sugarcane varie-ties (Saccharum spp.) were introduced into two media: MC1, consisting of half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts and 3% sorbitol, or MC2, similar to the first formulation, but additionally supplemented with 3.8 ?Mabscisicacid(ABA).
