Can you guess what I'm doing?

Here's a cool one. This specimen has a new meristem growing out of the cut end of a petiole.

Correct.

A petiole is the stem connecting the node to a leaf.
A meristem (apical) is the rapidly forming new growth that you see at the very tips of your plants.

Awesome. Very interesting process you are doing. Think I've figured out what your true endgame is.

And do not say it came from the Bats

Very interesting gmo. Have fun.

...maybe frozen weed plants/Seeds from prehistoric times. Cave men, Cave women. Bertha, Bertha Bu-t.

If that works in growing something back ,I have a suggestion ...

I'd love to hear.

That one was done from a squirrel found in tundra and seeds were germinated from 30,000 years ago ,Russia tryst to take credit for it but Isreal is the one who the code ,
Monster gardens has a kit that is very close, but does the trick ,look it up on YouTube and see what you think

I think Joe wants to re generate Bertha Butte's sister, and while I remember the old song, I do not remember sis's name.
But, she was one of the Butte sisters....

Some seeds keep better than others. I have seeds from the 90's that still germinate. Poppy seeds can last forever it seems!

This tissue culture thing may make seeds unnecessary for many, but not me. I like seeds. But this culture is amazing. Tons of genetics could be stored in a relatively small area. Take one out, and away you go!

I wonder how many plants our government has put away like that.

Yes these seeds were found inside the stomach of a squirrel in the tundra and Isreal
Figured out how to germinate them by regenerating the embryos with nutrients and yes the United States does have seeds in storage in the artic and ussr has one to and I think it's even larger our scientists had to go around the world to collect original strains, because we created crops that were able to produce larger yields but unfortunately during climate change, they all died those original strains are millions of years old and have built a superior resistance

A friend is having trouble germinating seeds from his grandfather's stash. Grandpa died in 1985, so these seeds are at least 38 years old, and likely older.

I brought in a couple dozen of them and will attempt embryo rescue. Germinating in vitro from the seed embryo.

Today's project.
