From: Leslie Georgeson skinnychick2 at yahoo.com> on 2003.06.23 at 21:32:56(10348) Does anyone on this list have personal experience with micropropagation of aroids? I'm quite fascinated with the subject and want to give it a try. Any information would be helpful. Thanks. Leslie +More --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

You can also glean alot of useful information from the Plant-tc listserv arhives available at http://plant-tc.coafes.umn.edu/listserv/. I am not sure what your skill level is, but a good book for beginners on tissue culture that covers some of the commercially important aroids in a general way is Plants from Test Tubes: An Introduction to Micropropagation, Third Edition, by Lydiane Kyte and John Kleyn (http://www.timberpress.com/books/index.cfm?doÞtails&ID$0). Good luck and keep your cultures clean, Scott +More --------------------------------- Scott Hyndman USHRL, ARS, USDA 2001 South Rock Road Fort Pierce, FL 34945 Office phone: 772-462-5889 Cell phone: 772-216-6534 Fax: 772-462-5986 E-mail: shyndman@ushrl.ars.usda.gov Home page: http://www.ushrl.saa.ars.usda.gov/ On Mon, 23 Jun 2003 14:32:56 -0700 (PDT) Leslie Georgeson wrote: > Does anyone on this list have personal experience with > micropropagation of aroids?
