PLANT CLONING II

Plant propagation by cloning is common in flower production. Generating a plant by cloning its tissue is an exciting and challenging experience which teaches the importance of sterile laboratory methods. Using this kit, students will establish a shoot multiplication culture using an African violet as a model, use sterile technique to develop African violet cloned cultures and induce the development of multiple shoots (clones) from the leaf tissue . Resulting plantlets may be started in soil. The complete process takes approximately three months. No hood or incubator required. Includes an instruction manual and a PowerPoint presentation with images of plant material at various stages of the experiment. Perishable reply card items ship separately upon request and only in the continental US.
