Hi Folks!
I've only just joined the list - I'm on the cadge for a bit of
information! Does anybody have any information on either Tissue culture of ANY
repeat ANY cp's? I intend to use Murashige and Skoog Basal medium from
Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, and I've been advised to use it half-strength
for cp's.
Does anyone have any views on this (I'm not trying to start World War 3 - honest
;-) )? Should I use any hormones for normal cp's (Dionaea, Drosera, Sarracenia,
Pings, etc), i.e. Kinetin, indole-3-acetic acid, etc? I get the feeling I should
use something for Nepenthes, but what? I think that's almost my 20 questions...
Oh no, hold on, Should I use something different than MS basal medium? Any
other hints and tips extremely well received......
Also..... Has anybody IN THE UK got any N. tentaculata, madagascariensis, rajah
or sanguinea which I could buy? I've already got just about everybody's
catalogue from outside the UK....... ;-x

Thank's a lot.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL....
