Specializing in all aspects of plant tissue culture and biotechnology, our state-of-the-art Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory has provided quality service to the agricultural industry since 1985. Our extensive collaboration with plant breeders, propagators, growers, and molecular biologists has given us invaluable experience in effectively applying innovative technologies to the genetic improvement of small fruits and vegetable crops, and the rapid propagation of many ornamentals and specialty crops. We are committed to giving our clients the benefit of the latest advances in cutting-edge technology, along with our decades of expertise in plant tissue culture and biotechnology. We look forward to having the opportunity to serve you and welcome collaborative or contract research projects in the following areas:

Anther Culture, Microspore Culture, and Haploid/Dihaploid Production:
Developing haploid and doubled-haploid lines ('instant inbreds') in a short time by using our well-established systems of anther culture and/or microspore culture.

Embryo Culture and the Production of Interspecific/Intergeneric Hybrids:
Rescuing Hybrids from incompatible crosses, that would otherwise result in early abortion or nonviable seeds.

Meristem Culture and Virus Elimination:
Eliminating viruses by using meristem culture technique and intensive virus screening programs, producing virus-free stock plants of great quality and vigor.

Micropropagation of Breeding Lines, Hybrid Parents and Other Valuable Germplasm:
Elite plant materials that are selected by breeders or provided by growers can be propagated into large quantities of true-to-type quality stock plants.

DNA Fingerprinting and Variety Identification:
Different varieties can be uniquely identified for the protection of Intellectual Property Rights.
