The propagation of plants in a controlled, artificial environment, using plastic or glass culture vessels, aseptic techniques, and a defined growing medium. 5, record 1, English, - in%20vitro%20propagation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The procedures used for in vitro propagation comprise : (1) the selection of suitable explants, their sterilisation and transfer to nutrient medium, (2) the proliferation of shoots on multiplication medium and (3) the transfer of shoots to a rooting (or storage) medium and planting out. 6, record 1, English, - in%20vitro%20propagation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The invention provides a process for a least semi-automated plant tissue culture propagation comprising: providing plant tissue culture containing a large number of densely packed meristematic areas, automatically separating and thinning the tissue into small clusters of meristematic tissues, bulk transporting the separated tissue aseptically to a separating apparatus wherein the tissue is washed and propagules of substantially uniform size and substantially free of phytotoxic cell debris are obtained, aseptically transporting the propagules to a culture vessel and distributing the propagules on the surface of a culture medium. 2, record 1, English, - in%20vitro%20propagation

La technique de micropropagation comprend les étapes suivantes : 1) sélection d'un explant propice, stérilisation et le transfert dans un milieu nutritif, 2) prolifération des pousses et multiplication en culture aseptique, 3) transfert des pousses à un milieu propice à l'enracinement et mise en serre. 4, record 1, French, - multiplication%20v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tative%20in%20vitro
