| Hey'all,
I did a search in this forum for info on chromosone doubling and found loads of good information, then later found a related page elsewhere that merits some attention. It gives clear instructions on creating stock solutions, working solutions and seed treatment for Daylily seedling conversion, but I'm hoping that the method and concentrations used can be applied to other species. Looks like next spring is going to be interesting.
One note on using the DMSO mentioned in the instructions; it's an amazing solvent that can transfer just about any chemical directly to your bloodstream through skin absorption, so use chemical resistant gloves (at least!) and be careful.

| Found it...at least the text for it in a tissue culture archive. Instructions under A. (1) i-iii appear to be for preparing solutions from pure Oryzalin, while instructions under A. (2) i-iii are for preparing solutions from the Surflan (44.4% Oryzalin) that we know as a pre-emergent herbicide. I've been able to find Surflan at local seed and feed stores in 8 oz. bottles. |
