tissue-cultured

Much of the work is carried out on tissue-cultured cells.

Farmers don't demand tissue-cultured plants until they know about them and have seen for themselves the benefits they bring."

I bought some "spudlets" - tissue-cultured seed stock - and threw them under the mulch.

It may be that farmers need buy only a few tissue-cultured plantlets, using the many suckers they produce to raise yields throughout their plantation.

In South Africa, the private sector currently produces over 4 million tissue-cultured plantlets per year, mainly for export.

• Artificial skins (tissue-cultured skin replacement products).

Nano-silver applied to tissue-cultured human cells leads to the formation of free radicals, raising concerns of potential health risks.

Develops plant tissue culture technology (Tissue-cultured Panax Ginseng).

KARI will also conduct on-farm research to stimulate demand for tissue-cultured plantlets among resource-poor farmers.

Rooting percentage and root number in tissue-cultured Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.)

Experience in countries such as South Africa and Costa Rica shows that new companies can be set up to produce and commercialize tissue-cultured banana plantlets.

Provided that the adoption of tissue-cultured plantlets is accompanied by adequate information and training, there is no reason why demand should not remain buoyant for many years to come.

An alternative to germinated seed, once constraints to mass production are overcome, are tissue-cultured or "clonal" palms, which provide "true copies" of high-yielding DxP palms.

There is no cure; however, its effect can be minimized by planting only tissue-cultured plants (in vitro propagation), controlling aphids, and immediately removing and destroying infected plants.

Elsewhere, tissue-cultured trees typically produce 50 tonnes of fruit per hectare per year, and could produce up to 80 tonnes per hectare per year under Kenya's favorable climate conditions.

Robert Cantley is a conservationist and Managing Director of Borneo Exotics, a Sri Lankan-based plant nursery specialising in tissue-cultured and seed-grown Nepenthes species and hybrids.

Here Joe Kibe, former Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture and currently a large-scale farmer of French beans for export, has just had four hectares of his land planted with 6000 tissue-cultured banana plantlets.

Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (IKUAT) first demonstrated that a domestic market for tissue-cultured plantlets existed in Kenya; the school pioneered the use of tissue culture in Kenya during the early 1990s.

Much of the early work on plant hormones involved studying plants that were genetically deficient in one or involved the use of tissue-cultured plants grown in vitro that were subjected to differing ratios of hormones, and the resultant growth compared.

This being the case, however, it appears that the genetic variability of cultivated N. rajah plants is very small, as all commercially available tissue-cultured plants are thought to belong to just four clones originating from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London, England.
