- Abstract : Tissue culture is much talked about as a superior means of propagation with plant guaranteed free from pests and diseases. However, the potential hazards of the technique are not often publicised: variety mix-ups, susceptibility to pests and diseases, and different management requirements.
[La culture de tissus est considérée comme une technique de propagation supérieure, qui garantit l'obtention de plants indemnes de ravageurs et maladies. Mais on ne parle guère de ses dangers potentiels: mélanges variétaux, sensibilité aux ravageurs et aux maladies, nécessité de pratiques culturales différentes.]
[Se habla mucho del cultivo de tejidos como medio superior de propagación que garantiza plantas libres de plagas y enfermedades. Sin embargo, a menudo no se advierte sobre los peligros potenciales de esta técnica : Confusión de variedades, susceptibilidad a plagas y enfermedades, diferentes requerimientos de manejo.]
