GETCO has established a Plant Tissue Culture laboratory and started its activities from July 2010.
Tissue culture has been exploited to create genetic variability from which crop plants can be improved. This technology also helps to improve the state of health of the planted material and to increase the number of desirable germplasms available to the plant breeder. The culture of single cells and meristems can be effectively used to eradicate pathogens from planting material and thereby dramatically improve the yield of established cultivars.
