Adapting to Acclimation of Tissue Culture
Saturday, July 15 • 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Following many years of seed and vegetative crops, tissue culture is the next commercial input of the industry. It is also the backbone of the industry due to its use in breeding, germplasm storage, and production of plantlets for stock plant buildup and seed parents. This session will focus on tissue culture acclimation and will help you reduce shrink on the bench. Topics like contamination, grading, plant spec, as well as pro tips will be shared from our speaker’s research and experiences with suppliers from across the country.
