![]() What I am trying to say is that maybe I already have a cold tolerant lady finger variety acclimatized to this type of climate without knowing. The weather in Japan during summer doesn't differ from the Philippines or Malasya, it's very hot and humid. The winter is the problem, because we get cold freezing winds from Siberia. The Raja Puri didn't do well after I grafted them because they are extremely tropical. But my lady finger as it is already acclimatized to a subtropical climate and has more similarities to the musa basjoo is doing better. It just a supposition, though.

Unfortunatly you are wrong. I repeatedly harvested edible sweet bananas in the open ground without using green house here in Shizuoka City on the Pacific coast about the center of the main land of Japan of which climate zone is 9a/b where the lowest temperature dropped even to minus 2℃ for a coule of days since the beginning of this month. Here is a photo of one of the bananas I ever harvested. |

We have a lot of frost which is worst than snow. The day after I made the video of my grafted banana, we had a heavy frost that terrified me. I thought it was the end of my bananas. But I just checked on them and they look fine. I still have great hope of attaining success. By the way, tell me what kind of edible banana produced fruit at your place? It makes me very curious. Por favor! Obrigado. |

![]() Mauro,
I was thinking about your climate and it's not too different from southern Georgia here in the USA. You can see from the photos after some hard freezes the bananas suffered some fried leaves but they came back in the spring/summer. I think your disappointments have more to do with variety. http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/bitstrea...1/36010048.pdf Jeff |

![]() Hallo Boa tarde Mauro,
The following photo shows the banana that I harvested last automn. This banana was potted in 60 littre plastic container placed outside in the open field throughout the year including winter time. It also got down to minus 2 deg.C a coule of times. But the banana went through and bore very delicous bananas. The friends on this forum identified it would most probally Namwah's sub- group "Pisang Awak". The name of the banana of the photo that I posted this morning is totally unknown although some identifier guesses as "Cardaba". |

the plants with suffi cient cold hardiness and the cultivars suited for Annual Cropping Production (ACP) under Georgia weather conditions. Theseimportant studies have not been carried out due to lack of funding. What a pity! |

I don't think there are so many kinds of edible bananas here in Japan. How did you get hold of this specimen? |

![]() Surprisingly southern turkey has commercial banana production but the bananas grown are used mostly within turkey and are not exported. I heard the recent preference in Turkey was for the supermarket banana or Gran Nain and less favored is the locally grown variety. I had shipped some tissue cultured gran nain to a grower and they are doing fine in that climate. They finally reached maturity back 5-6 years ago and I heard the locals love them. Hopefully they will continue to use the divisions off of the mature gran nain plants and increase even further production with that variety. But see even in countries that produce bananas selection is often limited apparently as it is in Japan.

I found these two varieties quite incidentally. The one that they say it could be "Cardaba" was found in checking websites on banana. A man in Miyazaki posted a thread telling behind his house there had long been a banana grove that produced very delicious bananas every year. Then I got a pup from him. The other one that would be "Pisang Awak" was found on the way of my driving. The banana grove was left half wild, but was fruiting. And I got a pup from the landowner. That was a quite coincidence. The landlowner told me that the banana grove had been there for some 60 years and he harvested fruits almost every year. Esta clar? |

![]() I don't know what the variety it is they grow in turkey but they do grow alot of them. Though I have been told the Turks prefer the commercial banana varieties over the locally grown ones. I hope one day the gran nain plants I shipped over there are doing well and have already produced fruit.

Stem cell research in humans raises many ethical issues, but with plants these issues do not prevail. Cloning has been happening for decades with plants and the assistance of humans. Many people “clone” plants in their gardens and for scientist they can do the same in a laboratory. This is an advantage for the science industry in observing plant stem cells. Data can be collected and studied in different point of view |

In 1958, Titopotency was first demonstrated using carrot cells. Fully differentiated carrot cells were extracted and put together to form an entirely new organism. Basically the carrot was cloned. The process included creating clones from differentiated cells that can be divided into two stages: dedifferentiation and redifferentiation. Phytohormones (plant hormones), auxin and cytokinin play a key role in facilitating cellular recombination. Auxin, a tryptophan derivative, and cytokinin, a purine derivative, works counteractively to produce the perfect the perfect environment for differentiated cells. During incubation, high concentrations of auxin and cytokinin help the dedifferentiate cells to clump into a mass called a callus. The Callus is maintained in a tissue culture, where totipotency and differentiation responds to the hormone levels y shoots and roots. Redifferentiation occurs when individual cells become differentiated and are dispatched to different areas. As they embark to their respective positions, they become individuals based on their specific tasks. When they reach the assigned area, they begin the process of constructing the new organism. |
