In the framework of various partnerships, the Plant and Pathogens group is developing several in vitro culture programmes for different plant species. Recently, a protocol was developed for the production and commercialisation of two new Swiss cultivars of daylilies (Hemerocallis sp.), by direct organogenesis from flowering stem explants. The success of this protocol ensures a high multiplication rate and long-term conservation of these new hybrids.
