A global partnership in advanced plant biotechnology UttamExplante, a joint venture between Uttam Agriculture (U.A.E.) and Explante (Brazil), is revolutionizing sugarcane cultivation through advanced plant tissue culture.
As the exclusive global license holder (outside Brazil) for Explante Biotecnologia’s proprietary micropropagation platform, we produce large volumes of disease-free, genetically uniform, climate-resilient seedlings with unmatched precision and scalability.
By combining cutting-edge Brazilian biotechnology with Uttam Agriculture’s EPC expertise, we deliver planting material adapted to local conditions — enabling higher yields, stronger disease resistance, and more sustainable operations for sugar mills, farmers, and agri-investors.
Explante specializes in in-vitro plant propagation using advanced micropropagation techniques. With over two decades of expertise, it has produced millions of plants across diverse categories:
-
Sugarcane
-
Ornamental plants
-
Fruit crops
-
Forestry species
Together, we operate as a Tissue Culture Laboratory of Plants – In Vitro, a specialized biotechnology entity that:
-
Clone elite sugarcane and other crop varieties through advanced micropropagation.
-
Produce micropropagated seedlings of high genetic potential.
-
Ensure genetic purity and exceptional plant vigor.
-
Rapidly multiply disease-free plants at industrial scale under strict phytosanitary protocols.
-
Multiply plants at commercial scale.
-
Aim to significantly increase agricultural productivity.
By integrating science, technology, and large-scale production infrastructure, we ensure consistent quality, rapid multiplication cycles, and climate-resilient varieties — empowering sugar mills, farmers, and agri-investors worldwide to achieve higher yields, better disease resistance, and more sustainable operations.
Production is carried out under strict aseptic conditions, following species-specific protocols, by trained professionals. Explante supports sugarcane breeding institutions like IAC, CTC, and RIDESA in Brazil.
Our Technology Platform
1. The Tissue Culture Advantage
Our platform enables clean, consistent, and scalable production of high-performance sugarcane seedlings using in-vitro micropropagation.
-
In-vitro multiplication using shoot tips or meristem culture.
-
Conducted in precise, sterile environments to prevent contamination.
-
Phytosanitary protocols and genetic stability measures ensure fidelity and plant health.
-
Diagnostic tools and rigorous quality control systems at every stage.
2. Core Micropropagation Techniques
a) Meristem Culture
-
Targets non-infectious, rapidly dividing cells at the shoot tip.
-
Eliminates viruses (these cells lack vascular systems for pathogen spread).
-
Produces completely virus-free planting stock.
-
Used extensively to preserve and multiply high-value varieties.
b) Somatic Embryogenesis -
Produces whole plants from somatic tissues identical to the parent plant.
-
Maintains genetic purity and stability.
-
Preferred for high-value, transgenic, or climate-adapted varieties.
c) Organogenesis -
Develops shoots, roots, or entire organs directly from plant tissue.
-
Allows regeneration from leaf bases, stems, or roots.
-
Uses dedifferentiation (cell reversion) and redifferentiation (organ formation) phases.
d) Advanced Biotech Methods -
Protoplast Culture – enables somatic hybridization between incompatible species.
-
Callus and Suspension Cultures – allows selection for resistance traits and production of compounds of interest.
3. Automation and Scale
-
Semi-automated systems produce tens of thousands of plantlets daily.
-
Bioreactor units for large-scale multiplication.
-
Optimized media recipes, lighting systems, and climate controls.
-
Controlled growth chambers for uniform development.
Sugarcane Propagation — Our Core Focus
01
Why Sugarcane Needs Tissue Culture
The rapid mechanization of sugarcane cultivation has accelerated pathogen spread, including ratoon stunting disease and leaf scald, leading to substantial yield losses.
Traditional propagation from setts is:
-
Slow — requiring large seed nurseries.
-
Disease-prone — easily transmitting pathogens.
-
Land- and labor-intensive — consuming valuable cultivation area and manpower.

02
Our Solution — Elite Sugarcane Biofactories
We use sterile, in-vitro meristem-based propagation to produce:
-
Genetically pure seedlings with identical traits.
-
Completely disease-free planting stock.
-
Up to 50x faster multiplication rates than traditional nurseries.
-
Seedlings with high vigor, fast tillering, and strong ratoon recovery.
03
Regional Adaptability
We maintain specialized protocols for:
-
Tropical lowlands
-
Semi-arid zones
-
High-sucrose content varieties
-
Fast-ratooning and high-tillering types
Protocols are tailored for India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and can be customized with local research institutions.
Our Production Process — From Lab to Field
01
Laboratory Phase
-
Micromeristem Extraction — isolate clean, pathogen-free growth tips.
-
Development Phase — promote controlled growth of genetic material under sterile conditions.
-
Multiplication — high-volume scaling in bioreactors.
-
Rooting — induce robust root systems in controlled environments.
02
Acclimatization Phase
-
Transfer to climate-controlled greenhouses.
-
Gradual adaptation to field-like conditions.
-
Hardening to ensure morphological and physiological uniformity.
-
Ready-for-field planting with high survival rates.
What We Offer
-
Genetically pure, uniform, and high-yielding seedlings.
-
Pathogen-free planting stock — virus- and disease-free at planting.
-
Rapid multiplication cycles — produce massive quantities in short timeframes.
-
Custom regional varieties — matched to local climate and soil.
-
Reduced nursery requirements — freeing up prime land for commercial cropping.
-
Year-round planting capability — independent of seasonal constraints.
-
Uniform crop stands — enabling synchronized harvest schedules.
Benefits to Your Operation
-
Faster multiplication in planting material per cycle.
-
Lower disease-related yield losses (up to 15% savings).
-
Reduced dependence on large, land-intensive nurseries.
-
Better utilization of planted area and resources.
-
Lower labor and equipment costs for planting operations.
Economic Impact Example
In a 20,000 ha sugarcane plantation (average yield ~80 t/ha):
A 5% disease contamination can cause losses of ~80,000 tons of cane — equivalent to 1,000 ha of lost production.
UttamExplante’s tissue culture plants virtually eliminate such losses, recovering that production potential.
