Default Re: Tissue Culture

Dave, I am also just beginning to tissue culture bananas. I use pre-measured M&S medium and add BAP for initiation and shoot proliferation. For rooting, NAA is commonly used. I have not yet tried Basjoo or E. ventricosum. I have 3 varieties in culture now as well as trials of 3 different bananas in embryo rescue. For these I want to make a modified N&N medium which is reportedly more robust for embryo rescue.
Photos of my laminar flow hood are in my gallery, too.
