Dear list,

I recently tissue cultured some VFT petiole cuttings. I immersed the
cuttings in isopropyl alcohol for 3 minutes and then left them in
hydrogen peroxide for another 3 minutes. Today, after two days, I
checked up on the plants and found that they were turning an
unhealthy brown hue. I suspect that I might have 'over sterilized'
the plants. Does anyone know which substances are most effective in
sterilization?

thanks,

adwait kulkarni
