Re: Going to buy the Tissue Culture kit
Mark: I found it very difficult to find beginners info on the net. There is Keith Bensons' page, but that one is down for the moment. I have been searching inibap.org for articles. None of wich have photos and all of wich use professor-language! I have heard 2 weeks is when you should start to see small shoots forming.
DAndra: No, did not make a paste. Just used tips of what I believe (hope) to be the atypical meristem. Used the banana basal medium from phytotechlab.com. They also have a multiplication-medium wich I will use for my first subculture. They said you don't need to add sugar to the basal medium, while the multiplication-medium needs sugar added. Offcourse, I also used PPM wich has a psycho price of diamonds.
AnnaJW: Thankyou! I will keep everyone posted on the progress. But I am afraid I will have to try a few more times. Right now we are "benchmarking", checking for things that have not gone optimally, and searching for "best practice"!
