Synthetic seed: a study on labisia pumila / Sopiah Mat Desa

Synthetic seed are useful tool for micropropagation and delivery of aseptic plantlets from one place to another. Nevertheless, the synthetic seed technology has not widely applied to the Labisia pumila plant. In this present study, synthetic seeds were produced by encapsulating nodal segments of in...
