Science - Botany
English term or phrase: plantlet
"As part of our sustainability initiatives, (the company) distributes coffee plantlets to coffee growing communities all over the world." "the Tanzanian Coffee Research Institute (TACri) could produce somatic embryos to distribute plantlets to farmers or to plant mother gardens" ... I have one proposed Danish translation for this: "regenereret plante" but I'm not sure it works in Norwegian. Suggestions appreciated.

Takk! Ser at Norsk Landbruksordbok sier: seedling = frøplante/kimplante, og at SNL.no bekrefter at frøplante = kimplante. Plantlet ser ut til å kunne være en kimplante som brukes til et bestemt formål, altså er ikke Clue helt presis her (etter mitt skjønn). Takk for hjelpen :)

Explanation:
Just guessing - stiklinger I believe to be the next step up from seeds, as something that is ready to start growing in a fertile environment. Itt has in fact started, and lacks the shelf life common to seeds.
