"To-Infinitive" vs "Present Participle"

Could you tell me the difference between the following A1 and A2?
Thank you.

A1> All the plants were clones: identical copies developed not from seed but from a bit of tissue carefully nurtured in the laboratory to develop into many samplings, each with its own root system, stem, and leaves.

A2> All the plants were clones: identical copies developed not from seed but from a bit of tissue carefully nurtured in the laboratory for developing into many samplings, each with its own root system, stem, and leaves.
