Frequently Asked Questions

 Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.

Micropropagation  is the practice of rapidly multiplying plant stock material to produce many progeny plants   The production of exact copies of plants “true-to-type to their mothers genetic” that produce particularly good flowers, fruits, or have other desirable traits   The production of plants in sterile containers allows them to be moved with greatly reduced chances of transmitting diseases, pests, and pathogens.   To quickly produce clean particular plants of viral and other infections and multiply these plants as 'cleaned stock' for horticulture and agriculture.

  These are the benefits for starter plants from Tissue Culture.:

• · Free from pests & diseases. 
• · True to type clones of the selected genotype. 
• · Physiologically and morphologically superior. 
• · Uniform growth with vigorous root and shoot systems.  
• · Higher survival rates upon transplanting. 
• · Plant of superior quality and better performance. 
• · Juvenile plant with restored vigor
• · Year-round production.
