Abstract
Micropropagation has been proven as an in vitro method of producing a large quantity of genetically identical, excellent plants. In contrast to the rapid progress in tissue culture technologies in vitro, the understanding and the importance of the delivery systems has been overlooked. The imbalance between the efficiency of in vitro propagation and those of delivery poses certain limitations on the practical application of tissue culture technologies. In most commercial firms, the laborious delivery is still being done manually.
