Sites providing information on the propagation of plants by cloning of small pieces of tissue, to generate whole plants, using growth medium, for subsequent transfer to nurseries or agricultural use, also known as micropropagation..
Laboratory protocol for micropropagation from stem tip, node, meristem, embryo or seed. Includes forum maintained by the National Health Museum, Washington, DC. www.accessexcellence.org/LC/ST/st2bgplant.html
Global resource for researchers, teachers and producers. Includes links to equipment, media, commercial micropropagation labs, and research reports including chimeral segregation and somatic embryogenesis, maintained by the Texas A and M Horticulture prog aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tisscult
NCGRP conserves genebanks for species diversity of crops and animals important to agriculture, landscapes and environmental sustainability, beyond seed storage using cryogenics. Serves as repository for semen, graftable plant buds or in vitro plantlets, f www.ars-grin.gov/ncgrp
Books, video list and guide from 1996, enabling small scale use of micropropagation, with simple apparatus and media. Includes operational steps to clone plants, acclimatisation and potting advice from the University of New England, Armidale, New South Wa www.une.edu.au/agronomy/hort
Introduction to the technique, with suggested reading and suppliers, from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia. www.jmu.edu/biology/pctc/tcstart.htm
Project using microprogation to contribute to conservation of the tree, Castanea dentata, and study resistance to blight, leaf spot and stem canker, possibly aiding transgenic modification, at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, www.esf.edu/chestnut
