Micropropagation Question?
 

I am considering starting a TC project to quickly multiply about 10 pineapple varieties, and then a few banana varieties. Does anyone know:

1) Is it reasonable and or feasible to complete initiation, multiplication lab work stages in 3 to 4 day increments every 3 to 4 weeks.

2) Are the micropropagation of pineapples any more or less demanding than that of bananas.

3) Know where to find more info on TC of pineapples.

Hi i also succes do TC pine apples. now i have 2 vaierty pine apples. for pine apples i use media MS + 5 mg NAA + 2 mg BAP. its for shoot multification. and for root MS + 2 BAP + 1 IBA.
Tc Pine apples needs subculture abou 3 weeks. more fast than Tc banana ( 1 month). see in my galery for Tc pineapples

Nice and thanks; but what do you use as an explant?

in pineapple case, explant source is shoot on pineapple fruit.
