Abstract

A new stabilizing substrate derived from cellulose crystallite aggregates (CCA) is presented in its use for tissue culture and regeneration of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.), particularly at the stage of root formation. The material is suitable instead of agar for the large scale propagation of cultured plants. Frequently growth promoting effects are being observed with the medium.
