In vitro propagation of plants at the "Alexandru Ciubotaru" Național Botanical Garden (Institute)

Abstract

Biotechnological investigations at the National Botanical Garden (Institute) "Alexandru Ciubotaru" were formally initiated in 1985 with the establishment of the Biotechnological Complex, under the coordination of acad. Al. Ciubotaru. The initial phase of development was primarily oriented toward the systematic acquisition, mobilization, and introduction of novel species and taxa into the institutional collections and exhibitions. This period was distinguished by extensive planting programs, employing seedlings obtained from diverse regions of the former USSR as well as from international sources.
