Kemtec Science: Plant Cloning II

• Target Grades: 9-12

Plant propagation by cloning is common in flower production. Generating a plant by cloning its tissue is an exciting and challenging experience which teaches the importance of sterile laboratory methods. Using this kit, students will establish a shoot multiplication culture using an African violet as a model, use sterile technique to develop African violet cloned cultures and induce the development of multiple shoots (clones) from the leaf tissue. Resulting plantlets may be started in soil. The complete process takes approximately three months. No hood or incubator required. Includes an instruction manual and a PowerPoint presentation with images of plant material at various stages of the experiment.
