Overview

Among so-called rare plants
which are difficult to mass produce, the supply of medicinal plants used in
Chinese herbal medicines is being restricted at the source of production,
adding further instability to the supply side. So Japanese paper manufacturers
are developing propagation techniques for plant species that until now have
been difficult to grow, by applying photoautotrophic culturing, a type of plant
cell culture technology, to plant cuttings with the aim of boosting production
of medicinal plants.
