Meristem cloning
HI! Well, I've been trying to research this online but cant seem to find more than a cursory explanation. Does anyone have any info on meristem cloning. I know this is a commercial method and I would like to know how it is done. I know the meristem tip is dissected form the growing tip of a spike, cane, or leaf. I know it is cultured in medium that is kept in motion to prevent differentiation of the primordial cells, but I don't know much more. What kind of medium under what conditions? Are there chemicals used to induce different reactions? I am new to this idea and am a student of bio-chem. I would like a garage project that would give me experience in a field with a hobby I love. Anything would be great.
