Orchids are regarded as some of the most attractive ornamental plants owing to their diverse floral morphology and striking colours. The regeneration of orchid plantlets via micropropagation serves as a cutting edge approach for the production of orchid plants in large scale.

Moringa oleifera, a highly valued medicinal plant, rich in bioactive compounds, has low regeneration efficiency that limits its large-scale production. This study evaluated the potential of CNTs to...

In the quiet of a tissue culture laboratory in Szczecin, Poland, a rescue operation is underway, and every one of its patients fits inside a glass jar.

Prolonged in vitro micropropagation reshaped the strawberry endomicrobiome, reducing bacterial diversity and community complexity. Biotization with selected plant growth-promoting bacteria partially ....

Arnica montana L., a perennial rhizomatous medicinal plant from the Asteraceae family, has a long history of use in traditional medicine across Europe and North America. Its various parts contain valuable metabolites, especially phenolic compounds, which are reported to possess anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. To support sustainable cultivation and conservation, optimizing propagation methods is essential. This study aimed to optimize direct in vitro micropropagation and assess the effects of acidity (pH) and osmotic stress on the proliferation of A.

The National Trust has opened its first micropropagation lab, enabling the conservation charity to micropropagate its own plant material for the first time in its history. The lab is located at the Trust’s Plant Conservation Centre (PCC) in Devon, a purpose-built facility using specialist propagation skills to conserve rare and historically important plants for National Trust gardens. It has made headlines in recent years for its successful propagation of seeds gathered in the aftermath of the illegal felling of the Sycamore Gap tree in 2023. The project was made possible…

The National Trust has opened its first dedicated laboratory, enabling the conservation charity to micropropagate plant material in-house for the first time.

In our coconut laboratory micropropagation has been the subject of research for nearly three decades, as this plant species is highly recalcitrant for in vitro regeneration and so far only achieved th...
