HIGH HOPES FOR TISSUE CULTURE LAB A new tissue culture lab at the National Conservation Commission has created additional export potential and several other opportunities for Barbados. The facility was officially opened this morning by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of the Environment and Drainage, Edison Alleyne. One of the primary benefits of the tissue culture programme is its ability to produce a large number of plants in a short space of time. Mr. Alleyne gave some idea of the labs capability and how it can be used. Tissue culture specialist Ashton Pollard, who trained several NCC employees in the various techniques and processes, says he hopes its potential will be maximised. The lab was opened as part of the NCCs activities for Arbor Day. It was followed by a tree planting ceremony. Three trees were planted by NCC officials, assisted by students from several schools.
