Micropropagation is a form of growing plants using tissue culture in sealed containers. This method allows for new plants to be grown using cuttings down to a number of cells. Learn from Extension Horticulture Educator, Bruce Black, about micropropagation and how you can do this at home using common household items.

Thank you for this webinar. I learned a lot from this. Do you have a link for the hand out of the procedures? Can I request to pls share it with me? Thank you
Great webinar it's been very informative
Can a tissue from a date produce a palm
If there is a chance could u plz forward me the documentation
Thank you for the excellent presentation, I have a question. can we use cinnamon to avoid fungi?
Wonderful presentation. Re: the water bath vs. pressure cooker — I don't know if this has been answered. Water bath never gets above boiling and there is no pressure. The reason I know this is because I can foods to put up for winter using both methods for different acidity foods. You will not get the same result as a pressure canner using a water bath canner if the higher temperature is needed. Hope that helps.
…there should be a counter in the corner of the screen counting how many "UMM" he said…. :p
-nevertheless good video! <3
Umm
excellent..
happy to subscribe here
Great tutorial, thank you for the systematic explanation.
My first batch was 0%, second batch 2 growth out of 16 bottles 😅
Really cool! I do at home in vitro orchid sowing, and have put up a series on the subject here on my YT channel. There are many similarities with the process you show here!! It is spoken in Portuguese though. So I guess Orchid Tissue Culture is my next step, and this video is a great starting point! thank you so much!
At some point in the video you say orchid tissue culture is more labor intensive than, say, african Violets… Why is that so? what kind of extra care do orchids demand?
17:20 – Is it possible I can take a fresh plant cutting then blend it in a sterilized blender under vacuum to prevent oxidation, the fresh plant cutting is now a paste-mash like substance, can I quickly place this in the tissue culture tubes with MS medium and expect it to root and grow? Is this even logical and practical? Aldo is it possible to use PDA instead of Agar?
I have seen people using stems. I am curious if that is technically even "tissue culture" or just "growing from cutting"?
Excellent video! So very helpful, thank you!
Do you have your grow lights on the sides of the jars as the metal top of the baby food jars block out light? Also when would you use the fan for airflow as the plants are inside the jars. How would the fan benefit the process. Thanks a lot
Are we worried about the multi-vitamins being heat stable as we boil them?
this is great! would love to have a read at the documents you showed, where can I find them? great work congrats!
For doing the TC of figs should i us the leaves, bud stems or apical buds?
"Um" good video
