Q2 Company Name: Imad’s Plant Multiplication Summary of Company: Imad’s Plant Multiplication makes many more copies of our customer’s horticulture using Tissue Culture. If you have one plant of a certain kind, give Imad’s a call and an employee will hook up any customer regardless of age or race. Just mail in a seed to the company’s address and we will send you however many more plantlets of your plant you ordered. Who I am: I am Imad Green, the CEO of Imad’s Plant Multiplication. I was born to Baala, Lebanon, I then moved to the United States to further my education at Princeton University. After Princeton I was inspired to be an entrepreneur and make my own company in my own name, Imad’s Plant Multiplication. History of Technology: A bit before 1906, a German zoologist, Wilhelm Roux displayed that he could remove the neural plate from chicken embryos and regulates it in a warm saline solution for a few days. Ross Granville Harrison had the same idea as Roux but expressed it with amphibian nerve fibers that could multiply. Harrison’s idea rooted for Nobel Prize winner, Alexis Carrel’s experiment. Alexis Carrel was able to make the chicken embryo live for 34 years. Everything experimented from Roux to Carrel was considered Cell Culture, the beginning to figuring out tissue culture. Years after the Nobel Prize was given to Carrel, experimentation on tissue explants was a developing popularity. Nutrient mixtures were use in making the cells grow faster, determining on the cells; different mixtures could be made to work more effectively. < [] > Science Behind Company: The technology used in Imad’s Multiplication is Tissue Culturing. It multiplies and makes plants grow faster than normal. To start out Tissue Culture, plant explants are needed to begin. A gel type medium as agar with extra nutrients is needed as well. The plant explants are put in the container filled with agar to grow and multiply. Because the agar is giving the seedling or explants extra nutrients, the plant will grow faster to be almost an exact copy of the plant it was based off of. <[] > Pictures: < []> < []> <[]> Current Uses: -Micro propagation to make identical copies of the original -Large scale and quick growth of plant cells Future Uses: -Imad’s Plant Multiplication has set a goal of someday propagating trees, and forests, and vines, and larger plants using tissue culture. -Culture larger fruits, as in pumpkins and watermelons.

=__**Business Plan**__= Imad’s Plant Multiplication specializes in the field of biological propagation. Imad’s is located in the United States in Athens, Georgia. In Athens, Imad’s contains factories to ship and package the products and laboratories for the tissue culturing. In the year 2000 a man named Imad opened the new culturing business.

Born to Baala, Lebanon Imad Khadiar immigrated to the United States to further his education at Princeton University. After college Imad started his own business, Imad’s Plant Multiplication, and is own as the CEO of the most successful tissue culturing business in the U.S. Imad felt inspired while reading about Ross Granville Harrison and his Cell Culture experiences. Imad’s thought process was that if he multiplied more useful things, herbs and plants, than Harrison did then big money could be made.

Nobel Prize winner Alexis Carrel furthered cell culturing. One of her most famous experiments, maintain a living embryo for 34 years started the ideas of tissue culture. Tissue culture multiplies plants in a petri dish. Gel agar is used for growth and multiplication of the plant explants. If done right tissue culture will make an exact replica of the original plant.

Currently, Imad’s is propagating plants and herbs. People send in their plant explants so they can receive more replicas of the original. Medical centers like to send Imad’s important herbs to get a greater supply for medical usage. In the near future, Imad’s plans are to multiply larger scale plants and fruits. Their goals are to tissue culture, pumpkins, watermelons, trees, Italian vining, and more types of horticulture.
