Clonal micropropagation

Clonal micropropagation and vegetative reproduction methods are the foundation of modern plant cultivation. Using these technologies allows for obtaining genetically uniform nursery plants, preserving valuable cultivar traits, and sanitizing crops by freeing them from viral infections. For an agronomist and a practicing gardener, mastering these methods becomes the key to increasing yield, plantation productivity, and high-quality renewal of collections in the garden.

In this thematic collection, we have gathered materials covering both high-tech and classic methods of plant propagation. You will become familiar with the theoretical foundations of clonal micropropagation in laboratory conditions, and also learn about practical techniques for the vegetative reproduction of ornamental crops. Special attention is paid to grafting methods, which allow combining the beneficial properties of the rootstock and scion when working with fruit trees. These articles will help you systematize your knowledge of methods for obtaining quality nursery plants and choose the most effective strategy for working with specific plant species.
