Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
You can buy a lot of the growth regulators from this guy Benzylaminopurine they come as powders so you need a bit of know how as far as chemistry goes and getting them to dissolve is a bit of a pain in the backside, but it's by far the cheapest way of doing things.
The agar is a vegetarian alternative to gelatine and can be purchased from health food shops or on line. As for the containers, yes canning jars or Kilner jars are a good thing. |

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
Hi Pineapplefarmer,
I'm following Novi's protocol using MS, Murashige & Skoog Basal Medium, that's the nutrients, along with 5 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L BAP. NAA is 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid. BAP is 6-Benzylaminopurine. These are the two plant growth regulators you need to add to the media. You can get this already in a solution so adding them to the media isn't very difficult. Agar, like jmoor said, can be found in health food stores. I purchased 56 grams from Amazon for less than $5. You only need to add 7.5 grams of powered agar per liter of media so it will make a fair amount. It's pretty difficult to go through all of the steps to make the media in a post. These are getting old but I did put some videos on YouTube about my experience getting started with tissue culture. Maybe they would help. YouTube - fbt2007's Channel I use canning jars for bananas and other large plants. They work nice because of the extra headroom. If you use them, drill or puch a small 1/8th inch hole in the lid and cover it with a round band-aid. This allows for air exchange. Cover the lid with a wrap of aluminum foil to help keep contamination from settling on the band-aid and getting in the jar.

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
Hi Novi!!!
I had a hard time finding a nice "green" pineapple. I bough a couple that were too ripe and didn't realize it until I tried to trim them. I really want to say THANK YOU!!! for your help with this. My pineapple explant has started to put on new leaves. I probably should have sliced it in half or quartered it like you did. Next time. For now I'll just enjoy watching this one develop.

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
An experienced pineapple grower that lives nearby told me that rather than planting the 'crown' that you cut off the pineapple, get one of the plantlets that develop between the upper leaves just below the fruit. Once those are planted, they develop into a mature plant much more quickly than those grown from the crown.

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
Hi Novi,
Here's some picts of my baby pineapples. When I divided the original one up I put a couple of young leaves in jars. Those started to develop callus and multiply too. I read it was done before but was happy to see it. These are still in the multiplying stage. After I get enough I'll put them in the shoot enlongation stage. Thanks Novi!!!

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
I watched a youtube video of a pineapple grown from seeds. What type of pineapple do you get from a seed. Is it the same as the mother plant?

Re: step by step Tissue Culture Pineapple
Trying pineapple tissue culture. The bottom of the explant turns brown, and top green is this normal? The samples are only 2 weeks old.
