A barrier for a plant embryo/tissue culture, wherein the barrier is in the form of a body adapted to be partially inserted into a growing medium to surround a root of the plant embryo/tissue culture as the root grows. The body may be adapted to be partially inserted into the growing medium with a lower end of the barrier located below a surface of the growing medium and an upper end protruding above the surface of the growing medium, within a growing container. The barrier is arranged to surround the root of the container for guiding growth of the root.
A transplant removal mechanism for transplanting tissue culture plantlets including a push/pull transplant system for removing the plantlets growing in agar from a tray, whereby the push/pull transplant system has a pin/finger to push the plantlet upwardly relative to the tray from beneath through an aperture in the tray, and a transplant head having at least two splayed grippers per head, for gripping the plantlet in agar from above the tray so as to pull the plantlet in agar upwardly from the tray. The mechanism also involves a leaf separation mechanism inserted between tray cell rows, a control program which depends on the plantlet type and category with plantlet protocols established within the control program, wherein at least one of said receptacles includes an aperture in a base thereof and a deflector configured to deflect roots of the plant away from the aperture, and a common feed reservoir of gel in the container and extending between the receptacles; and a lid which is selectively fitted to the container to enclose an inner volume of the container; wherein the insert includes at least one arm which abuts the lid of the container, when the lid is fitted to the container, to maintain correct location of the insert relative to the container.
An insert for growing plants, including a plurality of receptacles, adapted for insertion into a container, wherein each of the receptacles is arranged for receiving a separate plant with a portion of gel for feeding the plant. The receptacles may be arranged to allow communication between the portions of gel in the receptacles to allow the plants to share a common feed reservoir of the gel.

A method of supplying plants is provided. The method includes the steps of using tissue culture technique for growing young embryonic plants in a sterile environment; using agar for feeding the plants in the sterile environment; providing a container having a predetermined ordered arrangement of receptacles; storing the plants in the receptacles such that the plants are arranged in a predetermined ordered arrangement in the container; sealing the container such that the plants are stored in a sterile environment within the container; transporting the container to a destination with the plants in a sterile form in the sealed container so as to avoid quarantine; opening the container at the destination; and removing the plants from the container using a transplant machine which automatically locates and removes each of the plants on the basis of the predetermined ordered arrangement.
