Oryzalin [1 Attachment]


 

With 15 seeds out of 30 germinated I decided it was time to subject my Iris tectorum seedlings to their first Oryzalin bath. The ultimate goal is to create a tetraploid Iris tectorum to hybridize with TBs.

My technique may cause the scientists of this group to cringe, but this is how I decided to try it. The proper way is with test tubes & agar & carefully measured solutions. That intimidated me so I went with this...

With the variation in seedling sizes I might succeed with converting a few. Oryzalin, unlike colchicine. shouldn't kill any of them.

I promised Rodney an article in a year or two... but for now I'll post a random pic or two as things progress.
