FAO Partnership

Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa and FAO partnership to help build capacity on tissue culture

This is to enable support and the sustaining of biodiversity through the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s Technical Cooperation Programme.

The partnership was announced earlier this month.

Tissue culture is defined as a technique which involves the use of small pieces of plant tissue for rapid multiplication of planting materials.

“Tissue culture is seen as an important technology for developing countries for the production of disease-free, high quality planting material and the rapid production of many uniform plants.”
