@RickCorey I've been cruising the 'Net while waiting for you to find that book. I won't show the links for companies which sell the specialized media etc. but here are a few of the informative links (specific to hellebores). I'm still looking for further explanations, like what are explants and how might one get hellebore meristems WITHOUT destroying the one-and-only growing plant I have??
http://tigerprints.clemson.edu... (experiments, with Materials & Methods & Results, etc)
http://link.springer.com/proto... (a book, with hellebore-specific protocols. . supposedly. . .for about 50 bucks)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu... (an abstract, to lead to another scientific article /experiments)
thus far, the info I've gleaned:
MS media, modified
MES buffer recomended
possibly fortified with antifungal and/or antibacterial agents
(for scientific, lab-type cloning: controlled atmosphere & humidity)
**where's the emoticon for brain-weary??
