Introduction
www.els-journal.com
The development of TIS is closely related with the commercialization of plant micropropagation. TIS are periodic semiautomated or fully automated cultivation systems, based on alternating cycles of temporary immersion of the cultured plant tissue
into the liquid medium followed by draining and exposing the
plant tissue to a gaseous environment. Usually, the immersion
period is shorter (a few minutes), whereas the air exposure period
is prolonged (several hours). The precise adjustment of the durations of the immersion and exposure periods may significantly
reduce the hyperhydricity of the cultured plant tissue by creating
conditions for optimal humidity and nutrients supply with minimal liquid contact [14]. The direct exposure of the plant tissue to
the gaseous environment significantly simplifies the interphase
oxygen transport from the gas to the cultured cells, in contrast to
the submerged culture, where the interphase oxygen transport
faces resistance in a few boundary layers (gasliquid and liquid
solid interfaces) [15]. Improved oxygen transport contributes to
the better gas exchange, reduced oxygen limitations, and thus,
a lower occurrence of physiological disorders such as asphyxia.
Some TIS have the additional option of enriching the headspace
with CO2 during the gas exposure period. The higher level of CO2

Twin-Flask system
Temporal) is
The Twin-Flask system (Biorreactores de Inmersion
one of the earliest developed TIS [13,18,19]. Basically, the TwinFlask system consists of two containers (wide-mouth flasks, bottles, or jars), connected together by a U pipe (glass or plastic)
or a silicone tube (Fig. 1) [16, 17, 2024]. One of the containers
has the function of a culture chamber, whereas the other container is used as a medium storage tank. The culture chamber
container may or may not be equipped with support material for
explants (glass beads, polyurethane foam, metal or nylon sieves
may be used) at its bottom [21, 22, 2430]. Each container is
connected to its own pressurized-air line, controlled by two independent timer clocks, coupled with three-way solenoid valves.
The simple and reliable design makes Twin-Flask systems favorable for many laboratories. They are generally easy to operate
and the construction can maintain sterility for long periods of
cultivation [28]. Some of the major disadvantages of Twin-Flask
systems are the comprehensive automation (the need of two
timer clocks and two three-way solenoid valves) and the lack
of options for nutrient medium renewal and forced ventilation.
Twin-Flask systems are also not equipped with a specialized port
for external CO2 supply during the exposure period. However,
CO2 -enriched air may be used to ensure higher CO2 concentrations in the gaseous environment of the culture chamber [17,28].
Twin-Flask systems have been successfully applied in the propagation of plant seedlings, shoots, nodule cluster, and embryo
cultures [2022, 27, 30]. Recently, Twin-Flask systems have been
used in research work on secondary metabolites accumulation
by differentiated in vitro cultures as well [17, 23, 24, 29].

input. The nonuniform light distribution inside the cultivation

Thermo-photo-bioreactor TIS
This TIS bioreactor has been developed exclusively for micropropagation and secondary metabolite production of Antarctic
hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica E. Desv.) [33]. The bioreactor
consists of two Pyrex glass vessels connected by stainless steel
joints and pipes (Fig. 4). The upper vessel is the culture chamber.
It is equipped with a water jacket for precise control of the temperature and an integrated source of UV light, mounted on the
top lid. The plant material is supported by a stainless steel screen
installed inside the culture chamber. The lower vessel is the
nutrient medium storage tank. It is designed with two external
ports one on the upper end, used for air supply, and one on the
bottom used for loading the medium and sampling. The main
advantages of the thermo-photo-bioreactor TIS are the options
for precise control of temperature and UV irradiation, which is
very important for the cultivation of extremophile plants [34].
However, the complex and expensive construction is the main
argument against this design. Several low-cost TIS, operating
on the same principle, such as thermo-photo-bioreactors,
have been developed by using glass bottles [35] or NALGENE
filtration systems [36]. However, none of them can compete with

cylindrical autoclavable polycarbonate vessels that are joined together by a perforated adaptor with two female screw threads
(Fig. 7C and D). One vessel is for the plant tissues and the other
for the liquid culture medium. The perforated adaptor permits
the free flow of the liquid medium while keeping the propagules in place when the bioreactors change position. The adaptor
also has two external ports that allow the application of forced
ventilation or CO2 enrichment [42]. Because of its flexible construction and easy handling, BioMINT bioreactors are popular
in shoots propagation [43, 44].

as the prolonged time for liquid drainage may restrict the application of BIB for propagation of some sensitive plant species.

Rocker systems
In an attempt to decrease the initial investment costs for equipment and to save space and labor, several TIS have been developed
and distributed on the market in the last few years (Fig. 9). A
common feature of all of them is the simple design, inexpensive
utilization, and interchangeable plastic elements. The systems
are easy to handle, compact to store, autoclavable, and ready
for multiple use. A few disposable variants are also available at
present.
The bioreactor RALM (Biorreatores RALM, Ralm Industria e Comercio ltda., Brazil) is a TIS, operating on the TwinFlask principle (Fig. 9A). The SETIS system (Vervit, Belgium,
distributed by Duchefa Biochemie, The Netherlands; Fig. 9B)
operates in a similar way as the Ebb-and-Flow TIS system.
PLANTIMA (A-Tech Bioscientific Co., Ltd., Taiwan; Fig. 9C) is a
small volume TIS, operated on the RITA principle and has been
used for plantlet propagation [47, 48]. Another TIS, using the
principle of operation of the RITA system, are the PLANTFORM
bioreactor (Plant Form AB, Sweden & TC propagation Ltd.,
Ireland; Fig. 9D). Box-in-Bag (Fig. 9E) is a disposable TIS, operating on the principle of the Ebb-and-Flow TIS. The WAVE
bioreactor (Fig. 9F) is a mechanical rocking platform that uses
disposable presterilized cultivation bags [4951].

Plants have been considered as excellent platforms for production of valuable recombinant proteins. The interest in the
industrial process of foreign protein expression using wholeplants or their in vitro cultured cells, tissue, or organs, known
also as molecular farming has grown rapidly in the past two
decades [73]. However, product yields in field-grown transgenic
plants can be highly variable due to environmental impacts,
and the harvested material has a limited shelf life and must be
processed immediately after harvest, which may have ecological
implications for disposal of transgenic biomass waste [73]. Most

Concluding remarks
The efficiency of TIS for micropropagation of commercially important crops is unquestionable. TIS have potential application
for the production of plant-derived secondary metabolites with
high added value. The potential of transformed hairy roots in
combination with the features of TIS may be combined for development of local biological installations for treatment of phenolcontaminated waste waters. However, the full potential of the
temporary immersion technology for phytoremediation of industrial wastes is still to be revealed. The operational principle
and the option for full control of the contact between the cultured explants and the liquid medium make TIS an attractive
technique for improving existing protocols for genetic transformation of plants. Because of the absolute containment of cultivated explants from the surrounding environment, TIS could be
considered also as excellent eco-friendly platforms for large-scale
production of valuable recombinant proteins by transgenic plant
tissue. However, the scale-up of temporary immersion technology is closely related with the occupation of considerable area
in the air-conditioned growth rooms, which may raise the production cost per unit space. Many of the newly developed TIS,
especially the low-cost and disposable variants, could contribute
to the effective solution of that problem.

Practical application
This review summarizes the recent progress in application of temporary immersion technology for laboratory
and large-scale cultivation of plant tissue and organ cultures. Principle operation and technological implementation of various temporary immersion systems are described
in detail. Recent examples of the application of temporary immersion technology in micropropagation, production of secondary metabolites, molecular farming, genetic
transformation, clonal selection, and phytoremediation are
discussed. This review could be useful for scientists, researchers, and students focusing their work on in vitro
manipulation and cultivation of plant tissue and organ cultures.
