ARACONs also:

  • prevent cross fertilisation of flowers

  • prevent cross contamination of seeds arising from plant to plant contact.

  • Moreover ARACONs reduce the risk of uncontrolled release of transgenic seeds into the environment.

The ARASYSTEM is a great invention. I was working as a post doc in Gent, Belgium when the ARASYSTEM was developed. We continued to use it at RIKEN ever since.

ARACONs consist of two pieces:

ARACON TUBE
  • A base that contains an inverted cone that both guides the growing stem into the container and collects the falling seeds.

    Height: 8.3 cm - Leg height: 4cm - Ø base: 5 cm - weight: 16 g - color: transparent
  • A tube (length 40cm) which guides the falling seeds into the base and prevents neighbouring plants from touching one another.
    Specially designed, asymmetrically placed, ventilation holes ensure sufficient aeration for excellent growth and maximum seed set.
    Tubes are also available seperately as 'ARATUBEs'.

    Height: 40 cm - Ø tube: 5 cm - weight: 10 g - color: transparent
    Both tubes and bases are made of high quality, transparent, fully antistatic plastics.

ARACONs are extremely simple to use and allow you to harvest the seeds produced during the entire life cycle of the plant in one single operation.
