[Michalec, Chris] Steve,
Cuttings are probably as good as you'll be able to do with these.
They're easily within the technolgy of a backyard gardener. If you can get
the lab and equipment from a university to truly clone seedlings more power
to you. They're not exactly a big cash crop so I doubt you'll find those
resouces available. Maybe you should study up on writing grant
applications. I've seen the federal government throw plenty of cash at much
less deserving research. If you come to a university with federal cash in
hand I'm sure they'd be happy to clone your seeds..... Until the grant runs
out.
