We haven't got any variegated arisaema yet...just hoping to do so from
the tc process. If the variegation is a stable chimera, then tc
usually has no problems producing true to type offspring. If the
variegation is sectored, then reproduction through tissue culture is
difficult. The silver patterns are not really a true variegation an=d
therefore reproduce fine via tc.<br>

You are correct in that some species don't need tc unless you are
looking for really large numbers. After five years of tc, we have n=ot
seen a single mutant yet. I'm still looking for the white edged for=ms,
but no luck. Those with silver patterns do not show up as patterned
until they mature and have gone through two dormancies.<br>
