Abstract
- A transplant plug technique was developed that uses in vitro somatic embryogenesis techniques to mass-multiply alfalfa plants in a form suitable for direct transplanting. The plug contains potting media covered with an agar nutrient cap. Plants develop from embryos placed on the cap and then establish in the potting media.Key words: Hybrid alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., tissue culture, transplant plug, somatic embryogenesis
