Did anyone ever try to micropropagate bananas? If so how do you do it?

Easy peasy:

http://www.geocities.com/k2benson/TCoverview/TCban/Banana-explant.html

These links will likly change as I revamp the pages.


Also - get the following very cheap but complete texts:

http://www.iita.org/info/spread.asp?id=TE/127

Media is cheap, and can be had in premixed form from : http://www.phytotechlab.com JUst type "Musa" into the search engine.

Lastly, join the home tissue culture listserv. Great people, some with specific banana expereince.

De nada

I also have a power point that I wrote and that was presented by Ian McGuire at the CRFG meeting three years ago. I don't know how to post something like that.

When you go to post, there's an option under where you type your message that reads: "Attach Files"
Then click the "Manage Attachments" button.
I just enabled the ppt file extension as a vaild type to upload.

Give it a shot!
I'd like to watch the slideshow, too.
