bulblets, bioreactors have been tested to verify their value <strong>for</strong> large-scale<br />

micropropagation (Kim, 2002) (Figure 5d). Comparative studies between<br />

gelled media culture and BTBB (immersion, ebb and flood and immersion<br />

Microbulbs cultured under the ebb and flood system also showed a high rate<br />
