RE: spec-x with Chinenses series species?


 

Walter, Sean, & all,

Tony Huber told me that he had used embryo culture on a few of the things he produced, but didnât think it had resulted in anything very good.  I know itâs used all the time for lilies and a bunch of other things, but I am not aware of it being used very much in irises.  Does anyone know of any other iris cvs. that are the result of embryo culture?

Sean.

Embryo rescue isn't all that hard, depending on your eyesight.  I have to use a diesecting scope now.  

There is a website called kitchen culture, or kitchen tissue culture, or such.  Google will bring it up.

In addition to the information on the site,, there is a link to an egroup of home tissue culture practicers, mostly amatures but including professionals and professors, etc.

They are full of good information, and will answer questions.

The chemicals are available from several chemical supply companies, the medium pre-measured for one liter of sterile distilled water. Our standard culture vessels are babyfood jars, which are not terribly expensive at your local food store full of babyfood, cheaper than buying babyfood jars online.  The jars might be cheaper at a daycare if you can find one.

I used to be quite active on the group, but I  have been too busy this winter.

Walter

Anita,

 

It would be nice to be able to use that technique on hybrid seeds; I don't think it's too involved, but requires some basic plant micropropagation skills I don't have. :)

 

As for the koreana, if it's really self-incompatible, I can just have someone mail me some pollen, or try wide crosses on it like Dennis.
