The Cell and Tissue Culture Department at ROMB Ltd. focuses on growing plants under controlled conditions. Phytochambers are used, where in vivo tests are conducted to study the effect of our products.

The activities performed consist of in vitro micropropagation of explants and induction of callus of meristematic, leaf, stem, root tissues and explants from male and female organs.

The plant material is used to create callus cultures/calli – undifferentiated plant biomass with a totipotency feature – the ability of plants to regenerate an entire plant from each cell/explant.

The main focus of the laboratory is to clone viable, virus-free and disease-free plant material, to induce trichome callus and adventitious root cultures. Increased synthesis of secondary metabolites in a variety of plant meristem and calli tissues is enhanced on a variety of nutrient media, as well as by the addition of a range of phytohormones, vitamins and precursors of biologically active substances. Of interest are the unique substances secreted by the plants – cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, phytohormones and more.
