I would try the American patent office at first - there is a section on
plants and cultivars - at
http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm

These patents also have references to other patents and texts.

Any good books or web sites with info on cloning plants from smallish
tissue samples at home? I'm
interested in trying to clone some rare-ish/expensive-ish venus flytrap
and pitcher plant cultivars.
Back in High School, I tried and failed cloning African Violets using one
of the educational cloning
kits that were just coming onto the market at the time. I've found
references to several "cloning
gel" products (mostly, apparently, on pothead sites). How useful would a
product like this:
http://www.hydroponics-garden.com/rootechgel4oz.html be for my purposes?
My main worry is getting
bacterial/fungal contamination in the medium-- and this claims to have
"antimicrobials" in the
medium.
