Ornamental Bromeliad Tissue Culture: From Selected Mother Plants to Commercial Production
The Thai term commonly translated as “ornamental pineapple” refers to several ornamental genera in the Bromeliaceae family, including Aechmea, Guzmania, Vriesea, Neoregelia, Nidularium, Billbergia, Cryptanthus, and Dyckia. It does not refer to the edible pineapple, Ananas comosus, although both belong to the same plant family. This distinction is important because different bromeliad genera respond differently to explant type, mineral composition, and plant growth regulators.

Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ Tissue Culture: How to Preserve Color and Variegation Close to the Mother Plant
The plant commonly sold in Thailand as Philodendron “Kung Ghost” or “Shrimp Ghost” generally refers to Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’, a hybrid between Philodendron pedatum and Philodendron squamiferum. Its most distinctive feature is its new foliage, which may emerge white, cream, or very pale green before gradually changing to lime green and then deeper green as the leaves mature. The plant has a climbing growth habit, while mature leaves develop deep divisions and multiple l

Cactus Tissue Culture: From Areoles to Commercial Plantlet Production
Many cactus species are well suited to tissue culture because conventional propagation can be slow and limited. Some species grow slowly, require a long time to produce offsets, generate only a small number of seeds, or produce seedlings that differ from the mother plant. Rare cacti, variegated plants, mutants, and unusual forms may also be represented by only a few mother plants. Using small tissue sections for in vitro multiplication can therefore reduce damage to valuable

Makapuno Coconut Tissue Culture: Rescuing Embryos That Cannot Germinate Naturally
Makapuno coconut is distinguished by its unusually thick, soft, fluffy, or jelly-like flesh, which differs markedly from the firm, oil-rich meat of a normal mature coconut. Internationally, it is commonly known as Makapuno or Kopyor. This unique characteristic results from an abnormality in the endosperm—the tissue that normally stores nutrients and supports embryo germination in a regular coconut fruit. Because the endosperm in Makapuno coconut has an altered structure and c

Date Palm Tissue Culture: From Selected Mother Plants to Commercial Female Plant Production
Date palm, scientifically known as Phoenix dactylifera L., belongs to the Arecaceae family. It is a dioecious plant, meaning that male and female flowers occur on separate trees. When date palms are grown from seed, growers cannot reliably determine the sex or fruit quality until the trees begin flowering, which may take several years. Seed-derived plants are also genetically different from the mother plant. Their fruit color, size, flavor, texture, and ripening period theref

Namwa Pakchong 50 Banana Tissue Culture: Shoot Multiplication, Rooting, and Commercial Production Considerations
Namwa Pakchong 50 banana is referred to in research as Musa (ABB Group) ‘Namwa Pakchong 50’. It is a selected Namwa banana cultivar recognized for its yield potential, number of hands per bunch, and fruit quality. These characteristics have created strong interest in producing the cultivar as planting material on a large scale. Tissue culture makes it possible to multiply plants from selected mother stock and produce a more uniform supply than conventional propagation using s

Kluai Nom Sao Banana: Genetics, Distinctive Traits, and Tissue Culture Development
Kluai Nom Sao is a traditional Thai banana grown for fresh consumption. Its most appropriate scientific designation is Musa (AAB Group) ‘Kluai Nom Sao’. It is a triploid banana with 2n = 33 chromosomes and an AAB genomic constitution. This means that it should not be classified as a Namwa-type banana in the ABB group, even though it is sometimes marketed under the Thai name “Kluai Namwa Nom Sao.” Correct genome identification is important for cultivar labeling, export documen

Importation of Plant Tissue Culture into Thailand
The importation of Plant Tissue Culture is a vital process for the development and propagation of plants for commercial and agricultural research purposes. Imported plant tissues are typically used as starting materials for cultivation under sterile conditions to ensure that the resulting plantlets possess identical genetic characteristics to the mother plant, maintain consistency, and remain disease-free. The importation process must strictly adhere to Thailand’s regulation
