Tissue culture propagation of cacao [Theobroma cacao] by the use of axillary buds

As propagation through callus may not yield true clonal progeny, the project at Wye College, United Kingdom was using organised tissues, such as terminal or axillary meristems, maintained in an organised state. Attempts were being made to multiply such meristems in order to yield true clones and experiments on the control of continuous growth and the production of multiple buds in culture were described
