MGN Liner’s Tissue Culture Stages

What makes our liners thrive? Advanced tissue culture propagation. Our 4-stage tissue culture system helps ensure plant uniformity, vigor, and faster rooting compared to traditional methods.

  • Stage #1 – Initiation

A small piece of meristematic tissue is carefully removed, disinfected, and placed in a sterile growing medium inside the lab.

  • Stage #2 – Multiplication

Healthy, contaminant-free tissue is multiplied in a growth-promoting medium, increasing the number of viable plantlets.

  • Stage #3 – Rooting

Plantlets are placed in a hormone-rich medium to encourage strong root development—ideal for efficient production planning.

  • Stage #4 – Acclimation

Plants are hardened in a greenhouse over 4–5 weeks until they’re just like any other liner and ready to grow.

Pest-Free Certified

All our liners are eligible for phytosanitary certification, and regular inspections by authorized inspectors ensure our stock remains clean, healthy, and pest-free.

This ongoing commitment to quality means you receive high-performing liners ready for shipment to pest-regulated areas in the US. Our tissue culture liners give you a reliable advantage for sustainable and scalable growing.

The main advantages of the plant material that comes from tissue culture are:

  • Because of the controlled environment, plants can be grown any time of the year without interruption due to weather or seasonal changes.
  • Plants are propagated under sterile conditions and pathogens can be controlled and eliminated.
  • Clones are true replicates of selected mother stock and therefore homogenous in their performance and genetics.
  • Once plants are initiated in the lab (established viable clones) multiplication is enhanced and high quantities can be reached very quickly.
