Default Re: My home TC lab is open, Finally!

Just put Manzano and another cold hardy banana into culture. The Manzano was last week, the cold hardy banana this evening. The one this evening was my best apical meristem dissection yet. It was textbook, except the media was still a bit soft when I put it in, so it sunk in a bit deeper than I wanted it, but that means more exposure to the media.
I was going to TC the Saba corm, but as I was lifting it out of the pot, I noticed that roots were growing like crazy and pups were forming, so I left it alone.
I will have some pictures tomorrow in my gallery. My camera isn't that great, so the resolution is so so. But a couple turned out ok.
The Manzano explant is elongating and no signs of contamination.
As for the Embryo rescue, despite being on the wrong media, it looks like there are some changes going on with one of the cultures, so I am optimistic that at least one will take. (cross your fingers!)
