Re: Transportation of Tissue Culture Plants

I know people in our research centre sending plants in the follwoing way

1) washing the plants with distilled water (complete removal of agar)
2) packing it loosely in polyethene boxes wrap the sides of the boxes with 
parafilm and pack it in thermocol boxes

Dear Members,
Can any one suggest the best transportation method for TC plants.

We are transporting currently lot of Ornamental plants to USA, Australia, 
Newzealand and other countries different varieties of ornamental plants 
as ex agar as well as invitro.But still we get complaints from our customers 
that some plants sent as exagar are rotton or dehydrated.
We pack sterile plants washed and packed in carton boxes and also take 
necessary steps like wrapping them with sterile tissue paper etc.

Please suggest some good methods
Thanks
HML
