摘要

Production by tissue culture and genetic analysis can guarantee plant identity. Four major nurseries that form the North American group of the International New Varieties Network (INN) have made a significant investment in a new biotechnology companycalled Phytelligence. Phytelligence, which is based in Pullman, Washington, was founded in 2011 by Washington State University genomicist Dr. Amit Dhingra with a number of his graduate students who had developed tnicropropagation protocols and techniquesfor identifying plants through genetic analysis. The company can quickly and accurately produce plants through tissue culture and guarantee their identity.
