Tissue culture of gentians
|
|
Xplant Laboratory
has recently started to tissue cultured a few gentian species.
That means that you grow clones of plants from small pieces of tissues
that get their nutrient from a jelly-like substance. When the plant
is big enough, you can plant it in regular soil. Here are some
photos provided by
Frans Scholin at
Xplant
Laboratory:
