Re: in vitro tissue culture and native plants

Ok found a little more information on the work in Cincinnati.  The facility
is called Carl H. Linder Jr. Family Center for Conservation and Resarch of
Endangered Wildlife (CREW).  The are working on tissue culture and cryo
storage.  Their work is coordinated with the national Center for Plant
Conservation.
Hope this helps
