Regenerate & Preserve

Clonal plants through traditional vegetative propagation naturally see diminished performance over time due to inevitable pathogenic contamination that may include intracellular bacteria, fungi, viruses and viroids. This problem is nothing new in agriculture and horticulture industries. Most established clonal crop industries, from strawberries to bamboo, have evolved to utilize plant tissue culture technologies to manage ongoing pathogen risks. This is critical to indefinitely maintaining high-value cultivars for production and breeding purposes.
