I had a class on plant propagation in 1973 taught by grad. student from Purdue University at my first college Vincennes University. I wish I have paid closer attention or retained those brain cells. I graduated from there with an AAS in Ornamental Horticulture( I did stray from that path).
As I recall we were reproducing tomato plants and used a scalpel to remove a very few cells from the tips of the roots. Procedure included keeping everything sterile including using a Bunsen burner to clean the end of the test tube just before placing the cells in the media that was on the bottom of the tube.
Although I was not directly involved I noticed it was a very successful test of the technique of reproduction. I very much look forward to hearing about your results.
I love the tractors. We have a channel on DirecTV that for farmers and ranchers and they often have programs on vintage farm equipment. My wife and I watched a show on vintage lawn and garden tractors. It was interesting and espesically so for my wife. My wife also grew up on a farm but the family tractor was a water buffalo. She's from Vietnam.
Thanks for sharing you cool stuff. 73, Mike
