Default Re: germination

I have never tried it but I will try to explain it. The seeds are carefully opened in a sterile environment, and the embryo removed. the embryo would then be cultured on Phytogel or similar material with appropriate nutrient and hormones added. The process is similar to tissue culture at this point. It must remain sterile during the germination process. With Musaceae, dormancy breaking (alternating temps, hormones etc) can be eliminated using embryo rescue. this is a very basic explanation. I hope it helped
Cheers
