ABSTRACT:
A delivery unit of plant tissue of the present invention comprises a vessel in which meristematic tissue having the ability to grow into an entire plant body through differentiation is received. The body of the vessel is made of water-soluble substance and the interior thereof is covered with a water-insoluble substance. Hydrogel is charged in the vessel and the meristematic tissue is held by the hydrogel in a state in which its root or rooting portion is embedded therein or it is placed on the hydrogel. The vessel has a structure of a closed type with a cap or an open type. When the delivery unit of plant tissue is seeded in a medium, the water-soluble substance of the vessel body is dissolved by water contained in the medium and the bud and root grown out of the meristematic tissue breaks the thin film made of a water-insoluble substance which is provided in the interior of the vessel so as to further grow out.
