Avocado tissue culture propagation
Meeting the plant supply for increasing demand has become challenging due to difficulty in rootstock propagation. Rooting an avocado cutting is cumbersome, thus has forced the industry to depend on genetically diverse and seasonally available seedling rootstocks for tree production.
BioClay
A University of Queensland team has made a discovery that could help conquer the greatest threat to global food security – pests and diseases in plants.
