akhshik..thanx dear for ur reply

really?! desert plants can be cultured easily!

i thought they are more difficult than other plants..because they live in different conditions

dear...i don't know exactly the scientific names..

what about cacti species.....and other popular plants

---

yes easly becoz they need to growth with minimum water and even with just one shorat raining but there is only one problem with them they growth root as fast as posible becoz this enable them to absorb water, as you know we dont want it in tissue culture and root generation is one of the last part of tissue culture.

yes about cacti species and suculents USA, AU. Chaina and.... works alot just check google scholar for more information and if you need anything just let me know.

have fun.
