Abstract
Plant cells in vitro are capable of regenerating whole plants affording biotechnology a novel method for mass propagation of several economic plants (Murashige, 1977). Agricultural application of plant micropropagation is often impeded by low proliferation rates and lack of modern methods to overcome labour intensive manipulations. Scaling-up in liquid cultures, together with automation can provide an efficient economic micropropagation system (Levin et al., 1988).
