Kemtec Plant Cloning Kit

Introduce students to plant tissue culture and micropropagation by cloning African violets.

• Supports hands-on instruction in plant tissue culture and micropropagation
• Introduces sterile laboratory and aseptic techniques
• No hood or incubator required
• Includes teacher resources, assessment questions, and PowerPoint® presentation
• Ideal for Agricultural Science, biotechnology, and botany courses

The Plant Cloning Kit gives students hands-on experience with one of the most important techniques used in modern horticulture, agriculture, and plant biotechnology. Using African violet leaf tissue, students establish sterile cultures, induce shoot multiplication, and produce cloned plantlets while developing the laboratory skills used in commercial plant propagation and research.

Designed for high school and introductory college instruction, the kit provides an engaging way to explore plant biotechnology, micropropagation, and aseptic technique without requiring specialized equipment such as a laminar flow hood or incubator. The included instructional resources help guide students through the approximately three-month investigation while reinforcing concepts in plant science, Agricultural Science CTE, and biotechnology.
