If my TC skills are any good I should have some plants to send out. Of course it may take me 9 more times to get it right:-) We need an animated icon of a banana in a test tube with a scared look of impending doom on its face.
How is your TC doing?
You have quite a collection of Bananas. I just started to get the banana bug. They are great plants and there are so many types. Wish I could increase the variety a bit. In my zone I'm limited to just the cold hardy Musa Bassjoo.

Hey Francko,
The TC is going well. Only a few set-backs along the way. Wish you could make it to LV too. Maybe there will be one closer to you. You know their office is in Monmouth, WI, so you could visit her for a day trip. I bet you would only be about 3-4 hours drive time one way.
You can generally check my progress on this thread:
My home TC lab is open, Finally!
I am using to chronicle my progress, although I have been a bit lax lately. Getting ready to do some real experiments in the near future. Embryo rescue with stronger medium, variegation induction, mutant generation, efforts to hasten germination, different effects of medium additions like thidiazuron, charcoal, and so on. Also going to cause mutations and try some breeding with creating tetraploids from diploids then back-crossing them with diploids. I was going to use colchicine, but it is far too dangerous, so I am trying oryzalin instead.
Keep in touch with what you are doing via these threads and we can all compare notes.
