Potato minitubers and Lagerstroemia indica (grape myrtle) microshoots produced in vitro by a bioreactor system by Osmotek Ltd. (Israel) were compared by qualitative and qualitative means to respective ones produced conventionally in glass culture jars.

No difference between numbers of plantlets produced by the two procedures was noticed, although the ones derived from liquid media were extensively hyperhydrized.
