Default Re: Germination the easy way

The embryo rescues continue with Ensete and Musa. I am experiencing a lot of what seems to be endogenous contamination. Next I will try sterilization using 1% silver nitrate instead of bleach solution. Dr Frederic Bakry has sent a research article about his procedure and reports little to no contamination using this technique. Another Musa researcher has also corroborated this finding.
Some are still in good shape and a few appear to be doing something, but it is still a bit soon to expect significant changes in the embryos.
