Is bigger better?

Abstract

Let's look at what has been offered over the past 30 years by the scientific community. Table 1 lists nine notable studies where researchers compared growing transplants in cells of varying volume (bigger cell volume means fewer cells per tray). In six of the nine studies, transplants grown in larger cells lead to significantly bigger transplants at planting and increased early and/or total yield. The trend toward higher yield with larger cells was also noted in the trials that did not show statistically based differences.
