• Shoot cultures are transported in sealed, semi-permeable plastic bags that are carefully folded and packed in crushproof containers.

• Special attention to weather conditions en route and timely alerting of the recipient prior to the arrival date decreases the number of shipments lost due to freezing, overheating, or long delays in customs or quarantine offices.

• The National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis distributes 200-500 plant tissue cultures to national and international requestors each year and has developed procedures for distribution that minimize these common problems.
