    Most TC is without any mutation and are *exact* copies of the mother plants: clones. The trouble is our industry typically uses the term "clones" to categorize asexual propagations: cuttings . And the point of the video was about the ethics of disclosing if a plant is from TC because of the *_very low, but non-zero,_* possibility of somalclonal variation (like the 2 headed philodendron I show in my vid, and the variegation I'm getting on Joepii that sat in NAA for 3+ Months...
    Again to reiterate, I understand that 99.99+% of the plants I multiply in TC will be genetic clones of the mother plants, BUT I do think people should disclose it when they sell expensive plants like Delta Force, that are from TC, because of the slight chance of weakening genetics.

    • @shawnsg
      @shawnsg Před 6 měsíci

      Unless someone can prove the provenance of their plant no one can say their plant isn't from TC even if they are selling cuttings. Don't get me wrong, I don't think sellers should lie about it if asked but requiring sellers to label their plants as TC unreasonably brands them with this drama without actually providing any useful information.
      You're using loaded terms like weakening. The genetics aren't weakening. Mutated maybe. It's also not ongoing as the weaken"ing" implies. Am I nitpicking? Maybe but you only have to scroll down and see comments referencing your video and asking if this person also noticed TC plants not growing as well.
      Plant changes such as the 2 headed one you mention can't be ascribed to TC with any certainty without a bunch of caveats.

    • @jakobdeinlein3141
      @jakobdeinlein3141 Před 6 měsíci

      @prettyingreen While i agree, that yes, mutation can happen, what you are describing with a two headed philodendron is not a result of genetic variation. The apical dominance in plant is controlled by the hormonal regulation within the plant. If a plant has been sitting on a medium with a high concentration of growth regulators it can bind them to sugars and store them for later use. This can result in a differing hormone concentration after acclimatisation. If the hormone balance is tipped enough things like two heads can appear. Its not the genetics, its hormone levels. Similar things can be achieved with the application of pgrs to traditionally propagated plants.

    As someone who has grown a lot of pure species and hybrid plants, mutations happen. Tc can produce way more plants so there is a higher chance of running into mutations. People who make hybrids or grow stuff from seed actually toss loads of seedlings bc they have lost the genetic lottery. Lots of begonia hybrids have become lost because chopping and propping can only make so many plants. I think TC can make unique hybrids more accessible/prevent them from becoming lost.

    Two things...
    1... Yes, mutations do in fact come from tissue culture... but they are very rare in TCs where the goal is simply to clone a plant.
    2... Mutations can also be intentionally introduced into TC through Genetic & Epigenetic alterations. This is commonly done with TCs of Genetically Modified plants, where the seeds will inherit the new mutations.

  • @Peregrine1989

    This is such a bizarre discussion to me as an Aquarist. The Aquarium Hobby LOVES TC plants as the process to sterilize them also means that they will have no snails or other water pests. TC in the Aquarium hobby is actually more expensive then cuttings because of this as the demand for TC is so much greater, and insanely optimized aquariums (with CO2 injection and the like) produce a huge amount of small cuttings.
    I am definitely not in the position to try this yet, but you have a new Subscriber out of me as I might try to culture Echinodorus tenellus, as its a very popular TC plant in Australia thats always sold out everywhere.

    Been watching a few of your videos on culturing plants now and I’m intrigued. Would love to see some attempts with store bought fruit. Saw some videos where people were trying to grow banana trees from seedless bananas like a cutting, and they looked fake. Would be cool to see a video where you attempted the same thing but with a culture. Maybe do one with the stem, one with the peel and one with the fruit itself, to show us the results. Hell, I’d watch that with any produce, oranges, mangos, apples, kiwi, lemons, figs, pomegranates, dragon fruit, peppers, pineapples, key limes, avocados, pumpkins, sweet potatoes…
    Not to mention, some of those cultured plants grow up so weird, like tiny Bonzai, which leaves me wondering about if there could be a market for microBonzai.

    Some TC plants from a variegated explant still don’t often make variegated new plants even though genetically they’re the same (eg philodendron billietiae).

    • @FA-ft9sq
      @FA-ft9sq Před 6 měsíci +2

      That is more of a question of business ethics rather than the technology itself. You can get a weak form of a plant if you started off with a weaker stock when you start the micropropagation. Just as you would with a cutting. A responsible way of mitigating that is to grow out your tissue culture plants and see how hardy your new props are before selling them. Like actual quality control. But even mega companies like Google don't even extensively test everything before putting out new software, and instead rely on hot fixes...

      When people say TC’ed plants are less vigorous than seed grown plants, they are mostly likely talking rubbish. Almost all our house plant are coming from TC one way or another, how does someone on the internet know for sure that some random plant they got is from seed?

Do you skip mixing a rooting media that differs in recipe from your multiplication protocols? You have examples of taking explants and multiplying them, and then videos of you acclimating rooted plants, but I don’t see any examples of you performing the rooting processes. Are the multiplication and rooting processes just too similar so you’ve skipped over it? Thanks!

    One thing I don't understand for the life of me is...and please help me. Why is there such an anti-tc movement going on when it comes to rare plants? Is it because these plants are expensive? TC is not a new technology when it comes to plant propagation. A lot of regular 'basic' houseplants we have are most likely TC. TC is the most efficient and stable way for mass-propagation. Seed propagation will (almost) never give the exact same plant, even if it is self pollinated. Stem cuttings are theoretically the most safe, but it is the slowest and thus the least lucrative way for sellers to propagate. One last thing. We need to work with data. Sure, I believe a very very small percentage of clones will mutate, but what is this percentage? I would't be suprised if it is less than 0,1%.

    • @northliu1196
      @northliu1196 Před 6 měsíci +1

      TC has the ability to flood the market with a particular plant and drive the price to uneconomical levels. Small plant sellers have a lot of incentive to spread fear of TC to keep the value of their plant. Even the biggest nurseries in Southeast Asia have limit how much they TC to keep the price high so the whole market is profitable.

    • @ronrothrock7116
      @ronrothrock7116 Před 6 měsíci +1

      I believe that the problem is that TC production factories keep TC plants for 1000s of propagation cycles and don't re-establish fresh cuttings periodically. The more cycles a plant is propagated in culture the greater chance of having "mutant" plants. These factories keep cost down by NOT starting new cultures from healthy plants and people will generally tend to buy from cheaper sources. Therefore people will have a greater chance of getting mutant plants from TC. Once you've bought, or heard of someone who bought a TC mutant, that fear will carry over to the rare TC plants. In most cases those rare plants did not come from one of those factories and their chance of being a mutant are pretty low. But if you were going to spend 100s of dollars on a TC plant, is that risk worth it if you've heard of ANY TC mutants? For some people, that answer is no.

    Not a bad summary of this topic, but you left off several notable things to discuss.
    1. Not only can you get somoclonal variation, but you can get epigenetic changes. You can look up a more detailed description, but basically any living thing can have DNA get methyl groups stuck to it in response to environmental growth conditions. These methyl groups alter gene expression and can impact plant morphology and make a plant look like it "has a DNA mutation". These epigenetic changes, by the way, can be inherited by subsequent generations of seeds. They essentially are mutations, but not DNA mutated. I just call any non-normal plant a mutant.
    2. People who fear TC plants for these mutations are justified in feeling that way. Many TC plants can become stunted and never recover. This is not always noticeable from the small plants that are sold by producers because they often don't grow plants to full size. While you may be correct that "mutant" or "deformed" plants are tossed before being sold, the mutations/adaptations that I'm talking about are the ones not seen until the plant is larger and the producer may not realize the plants they are selling are dwarfed or otherwise mutated.
    3. Another point about people being weary of TC plants in something else you would not have experienced much yet. For TC plant "factories" if they have grown plants in TC for a long time (for example more than 10 years) the chances of mutant forms greatly increases. Your plants are done on a small scale and constantly being re-established from cuttings from mature plants and have not been in TC for 100s or 1000s of propagation cycles. It is a fair concern for people buying TC plants. If you want to distinguish your TC plants from those that might have mutant forms, then keep track and state on the product site how many propagation cycles the plant has undergone in TC.
    4. Lastly, as you probably know, 2,4-D, TDZ, and other synthetic hormones can increase multiplication rates and therefore make production cheaper. And as you said, these hormones are more likely to cause mutants. It is impossible for a person buying TC plants to know if any of these hormones were used, but production facilities are greatly incentivized to use them to increase production.

      General rule of thumb is to buy plants that are at least a couple inches in size.
      Even though I've never read or heard of anyone having any issues with TC, I'm sure like you said, someone working in a TC factory has had experience with outliers. It has to be rare though, something like 1 in 1000 or less.

      @@floob247 Actually it is much higher than that. I've worked in a TC lab and "TC adapted plants" are quite common. It is well known in TC labs that you don't keep multiplying a plant in culture more than a year. The longer in culture, the more likely the aberration.

    It’s pretty clear to me when people asking if a plant is TC’ed, they are not asking if the plant has genetic mutation or not, they are asking how much supplies there is and if the shop selling the plant is interested in protecting the current value of the plant. Delta Force is desirable for it rarity, and if it is TC’ed the price will tank. That’s the really the crux of the debate. A shop propagating Delta Force with cutting vs TC has huge implications for the availability and future value of the plant, those factors greatly influence if the plant should be purchased. The seller wants to hide it, the buyer wants to know.

    Zero difference between a large tc and a small cutting! Both are clones!
    That being said, it is easier to mutate a TC because most mutations result in death, for a cutting you need most cells to survive but for TC it is possible to grow from as little as a single cell!
    Would you be interested in adding uranium or something to your TC to intentionally encourage mutations?

      You would use chemical mutagens, not radiation normally. Colchisine can do this (by causing polyploidy), but also the 2,4-D she mentioned or TDZ. It also doesn't have to cause genetic mutation. The hard part is getting a mutation that is favorable. 99.9999% of mutations are harmful or lethal.

      @ronrothrock7116 Před 6 měsíci

      @@petevenuti7355 It is a bit more involved that the way you are looking at this. From the DNA said it works like this: if the particular plant you are looking at has, say 1 billion base pairs of DNA, but only about 1% is coded for genes the odds that the mutation will be within an encoded gene are small. Next, the average gene has 236 base pairs. If one of them is mutated that gene may still function, but be less effective (or more on rare cases) or it could be non functional. The impacts of an impaired gene or non-functional gene will reduce survivability of that cell either a little or to the point that it will die.
      Now that is only talks about for encoded protein genes that are about 1% of the DNA. In that other 99% there are lots of "junk DNA", stuff that we just don't simply know about and what mutations there would do. Some are likely structural and others can be regulatory. Others still may be turned on or off depending on the environmental factors.
      But to your specific point about 1 in 10000... it depends on which cell within the plant has the mutation. There are only a few specific cells that are "lineage" cells (called meristematic cells). Those cells exist in the actively growing meristem tip. If any other cell is mutated, that cell, while it may still multiply, it will only end up being a portion of the plant (resulting in a chimera) and can never be produced into another whole living plant. For example, if that cell happens to exist on the newly formed leaf, as the leaf continues to grow larger, that leaf will have the mutation, but the rest of the plant won't. There are only about 10-20 meristemitic cells within a growing meristem. And even if one of those meristematic cells is mutated, you can still get chimeras and not a whole mutant plant (some of the variegated plants are this).
      Another thing to consider is this: If the meristematic cell is mutated and it grows slower due to it's mutation, as the cells around it multiply faster than it, it most often gets out-competed with and the un-mutated cells overwhelm the mutant and the mutant line disappears because it can't keep up with the others around it.
      There are lots of factors involved and I could give an entire college course on mutations, how and where they arise and the statistics of survivability, but suffice it to say the odds are actually way less than what I said in the 1 in 10,000. I just threw out a number that was very low, but not very precise.
      And just as an aside, mutations when using chemicals or radiation don't just happen as a 1 time deal per cell. Due to the low chance of producing a mutation that is in the right place in the DNA and then it's odds of survival, you need to cause many many mutations. Most chemically or radiated cells end up with 1000s of mutations. 1 needs to cause a mutation that can survive and produce a whole plant that survives, but is different in some way, but all those other mutations have to not have occurred to end up a lethal mutation as well.
