Different stages of micrografting procedures: a Seedling of Opuntia ficus-indica 30 days after sowing; b Opuntia ficus-indica subcultured and maintained as rootstock source indefinitely; c Seedlings of Pelecyphora aselliformis 60 days after sowing; d Freshly grafted sub-apical slice of Pelecyphora aselliformis on micropropagated Opuntia ficus-indica; e Micrografting of the apical part of Pelecyphora aselliformis after 20 days of cultivation. Arrow indicates new growth; f Micrografting of a sub-apical slice of Pelecyphora aselliformis after 20 days of cultivation. Arrows indicate new shoots arising from three different areoles
