the"Productivity" forest laboratories – a million seedlings a year. In the next two years Belarus plans to build six forestry centres.

- whether to nourish millions of identical trees, it is sufficient to take a leaf out escape or a kidney?

Rather, you need to take fabrics that have a high regenerative activity. Then you can get an unlimited number of exact genetic copies of the material from which the sample was taken.

How to create clones of plants? How complex is the technology?

Method clonal expansions in principle not new. It has been known since 1960-ies. But the whole point of the method and technology of plant propagation is to select the optimal composition of culture media at each stage clonal reproduction.
