Embedding microchips in ornamental shrubs

A new technology was introduced to embed identification chips in rose canes. Researchers designed and tested a method for embedding rose plants with radiofrequency identification microchips, then tracked the tagged plants using a database. The findings suggest that rose plants can be safely tagged with a microchip as early as the nursery phase without negative effects on plant appearance. The technology supports a variety of educational and research applications.
