Development of a New Process for Mass-Production of Virus-Free Seed Bulbs of Garlic(Allium sativum L.) Through Plant Tissue Culture Technique

A garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important and useful vegetable such that it is not only most used for spices but also exploited for health foods and pharmaceuticals. The garlic is a kind of vegetable propagated vegetatively through cloves. Therefore, development of new varieties of garlics is possible only through selection breeding because cross breeding is impossible. (omitted)
