(Micropropagation)
A Practical Guide to Woody Plant Micropropagation John W Einset
The spin off from basic research on the physiology of plants, plant
micropropagation is a simple, straightforward-and commercially profitable technique.
The Home Plant Tissue Culture Listserv was created at the request of several tissue culture hobbyists who wanted a site where beginners could share their experiences with other non-professionals or those with limited experience. Our goal is to share ideas, cultures, seeds, chemicals, protocols, recipes and sources of information with each other. We are all limited in funds and expensive equipment and want to share ideas of how we can do plant tissue culture in an effective but inexpensive manner.
Al AIN // On the outskirts of Al Ain’s Al-Fou’ah region is one of the most advanced agricultural research centres of its kind, dedicated to perfecting the breeding of the country’s prized plant, the date palm.
While tried and trusted methods such as seed and off-shoot propagation have always served farmers and the plant stock well, in the modern world breeding palms through such time-consuming techniques has proved inefficient and incompatible with the Government’s policy of increasing crop production.
Wagner Vendrame, an associate professor of environmental horticulture at the University of Florida’s Tropical Research and Education Center, Homestead, recently received the 2008 Florida State Horticultural Society Presidential Gold Medal Award.
The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) was founded in 1946 as the Tissue Culture Association to foster exchange of knowledge of in vitro biology of cells, tissues and organs from both plant and animals (including humans). The focus is on biological research, development, and applications of significance to science and society.

Mission Beach Tissue Culture Laboratory is Australia’s only dedicated papaw tissue culture propagator. The laboratory was established in 2006 by directors Steve and Denise Lavis, with support from an Australian Government New Industries Development Grant.
The following story of concern was in the Monday, 21 July 2008 addition of the Independent Newspaper;
An aggressive new fungus-like plant disease spreading across Britain could destroy millions of garden shrubs, including historic ornamental plants, and transform the rural landscape.
Phytophthora kernoviae, a new plant pathogen from the same family as the mould which caused the Irish potato famine, was discovered in Cornwall in 2003 and is now spreading across the United Kingdom, with 52 cases identified in formal gardens and the countryside in England, Wales and Scotland.

Our society supports development of both basic and applied researches in the fields of plant tissue culture, molecular biology and cell technology. To this end, we hope to facilitate exchanges of research information and cooperation among researchers of various disciplines, including basic science, agriculture, pharmacy, and engineering.
