Tissue Culture Technology: Cashing in on Cloning
組培技術：克隆賺錢
Whoever said that variety is the spice of life must have been referring to the horticulture industry. Finding and commercialising new and exciting plant varieties that will surprise and delight customers is essential in this business. That is where Huas Tissue Culture Center Bio-Technologies can help nurseries, growers, and garden centres stay one step ahead of the game. Huas Tissue Culture Center specialises in bringing unique or difficult to propagate varieties into production on a commercial scale over a brief time span.
不知是誰說過，品種對于園藝業的關系猶如調味劑對于生活的關系。在商業運作中，讓客戶驚喜與滿意的必不可少的要素是找到并商業化令人興奮的新優植物品種。這就是華石組培中心能夠幫到苗圃、種植者與花園中心在競爭中處于領先一步的地方。華石組培中心專注于引進獨特的或難以繁殖的可商業化的植物新優品種，并在短時間內進行規模化地快繁。
How we grow
我們如何栽培植物
Huas TCC serves the wholesale nursery trade in the capacity of a propagator of woody ornamentals, rootstocks and nut and berry varieties. We employ in vitro micropropagation (tissue culture) in our onsite laboratory as the exclusive means of propagation. The plants we produce thereby are then acclimatized to ambient conditions and grown-on to transplantable size in our signature paper-plug format for your convenience. Because of our unique combination of laboratory and greenhouse facilities, we can both propagate as well as establish high quality micropropagated starter plants completely in-house.This means that we do not sell any materials that are stillin vitro, such as stage II or III plantlets. Instead, we offer only fully-established transplants or liners that are ready to transplant right away. So our customers do not need high humidity tenting setups or specially designed environments to succeed with our materials.
華石組培中心為大苗圃與種植者提供高品質的庭蔭樹、灌木、蔓生植物、根莖植物和堅果及漿果植物的組培種苗。我們在現場實驗室中采用體外微繁殖（組織培養）作為唯一的繁殖方式。我們還會使我們栽培的植物適應周圍環境條件（練苗），并在營養網袋中生長至可輕松移植的大小，便于您未來的移植處理。由于我們采用獨特的方式將實驗室和溫室設施完美結合，因此我們公司內部就能夠完全完成高品質微繁殖植物幼苗的繁殖和穩定栽培。我們只為客戶提供那些已經完全生長穩定的移植植物和成排種植植物，便于他們立即完成植物的移植處理。因此我們的客戶不再需要高濕度的觀察看護設施，或者專門設計相關環境就能實現我們所提供的成功移植。
All of our plants are initially planted out of the laboratory in paper plugs. We believe that starting plants in paper plug systems, such as the Ellepot® or the Fertilpot® results in higher quality, more easily handled transplants as compared to plant materials grown or rooted in common flats or standard cell packs/small pots.
我們所提供的所有植物種苗最初都是放置在營養網袋中在實驗室內種植生長的。我們相信相比生長或扎根于普通穴盤或標準小盆的植物，將植物幼苗種植在營養網袋系統內將有助于提高植物質量，而且移植處理也更為簡便，成活率高，生長速度快。
We make our own paper plugs at North American Plants (see picture of our machine below). This allows us to vary the components of the substrate from crop to crop to fit the exacting root-zone and fertility requirements for each variety. In our paper plugs, we use the same peat-based substrates that most growers use for softwood cuttings or micropropagated materials. But there is one very important difference: the root system of a paper plug is supported on the sides by a non-woven fabric “paper.” North American Plants was the first propagator in North America to utilize this technology in the production of tissue cultured woody plants. We think that you will be impressed by the speedy transplanting and establishment of our small and large size products that are grown in this system as compared to bareroot,or cell-pack grown, starter plants.
我們提供的基因組培植物使用營養網袋栽植（請參見下圖了解設備信息）。這就使得我們能夠為每種不同作物采用各種不同的底層培養土成分，以適合每個品種特殊的根區和施肥要求。在營養網袋中，我們與大多數植物種植公司之間存在一個非常重要的區別：那就是采用無紡布從側面對網袋中的根系提供支撐。相比與其他裸根或者在穴盤中生長，并使用催肥飼料的植物，我們在這種系統中生長的各種大小尺寸植物產品都能夠更出色地實現快速移植和穩定生長，我們相信這一優勢一定會引起您的興趣。
Important Note About Paper Plugs: As with any containerized growing system, root systems are artificially restricted by the “walls” of the container. In the case of paper plugs, this is also true. We recommend inspecting the root systems of the paper plugs you receive for any circling or upturned roots (which could result in a small “J” root) and take remedial action prior to transplanting in order to avoid later root quality issues in bare-root production.
重點關注網袋容器: 比起如何其他容器化種植系統，根系被人為地限制在容器壁內，在網袋中根系也一樣限制在容器內，但是在網袋中不會產生盤卷的根系。我們推薦您仔細檢查收到的網袋苗根系是否有盤卷。盤根會對以后的裸根產品產生根系品質下降的影響，要在移植前做補救措施避免盤根。
