plants from flower bud

I don't speak the language but this video appears to show new plants being generated from the flower, anyone see this done before?

Re: plants from flower bud

It’s called somatic embryogenesis. They take tissue. In this case immature male flowers! The end product is Musa plants! I have never tried and don’t know a lot about it. It is very cool though! I’m sure Gabe has done it. He has done some amazing work with TC.

Druss i have lots of books and PDFs about it. I will try to email you a few. From my reading it’s a whole different world from simple TC! To me anyway haha.
