How do you propagate Bamboo with tissue culture sterile solutions & what auxins are best?
Can you answer editable7's question about Bamboo?:
Some references suggest several cytokinins and agar. I have IBA from Rootone powder & I can get agar - but I'm wondering from where I can order what's best for propagating bamboo - esp. Muso variety which is 4 inch diameter when mature & tolerates minus 10 degree temperatures - and slow to propagate by divisions. I can get samples from local bamboo grove. I've never seen how to collect the growing tissue from internodes or branches.
I'm also trying to learn how to propagate Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadiensis) which doesn't produce many seeds & is slow to propagate by divisions. Its' mature roots have value for organic cattle feeds and for natural dye uses. I think I can get growing plants this year and seeds (maybe next season). I sure would like to find a good Tissue Culture bibliography relevant to these species. Thanks very much for your suggestions.

try the link for bamboo
bloodroot roots probably aren't a good thing to feed to cattle
Sanguinarine concentrated in the root kills animal cells through its action on the Na+-K+-ATPase transmembrane protein. Epidemic dropsy is a disease that results from ingesting sanguinarine. this info from wikipedia.
Hello,
i'm also searching for an good Tissue Culture and information over it.
maybe you can help me.
thanks
As far as I know the only bamboos that can be propagated through tissue culture is clumping bamboos. I am sorry to tell you that moso bamboo is a running species. And must be propagated by clump division or grown from seed. Good luck with your experiments though.
