In vivo growth of encapsulated axillary buds of mulberry (Morus indica L.)

Abstract

Axillary buds excised from aseptic shoot cultures of mulberry were encapsulated in an alginate matrix under non-aseptic conditions. Addition of a fungicide to the alginate beads prevents contamination of the bud and increased survival of the buds when sown in soil. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
