The advantages of tissue culture for the aroid collector
By Scott E. Hyndman     (Buy)

ABSTRACT:

Many collectors express the concern that the use of tissue culture in propagating rare aroids will not only reduce the collectors' status of the plants, but also reduce their monetary worth. I have to admit that the thought of a once rare aroid mass-produced from a tissue culture laboratory and then sold at the local garden center next to the petunias and marigolds is a difficult thing to accept. But this is unlikely to happen due to the costs involved in setting up and operating a commercial tissue culture laboratory
