(Fwd) Amorphophallus surplus

From: "Dr. Guanghua Zhu" <gzhu at LEHMANN.mobot.org> on 1997.12.05 at 19:47:27(1712) Dear Michael Marcotrigiano : I am forwarding your message to aroid-l. You can not find a better place than this for any tradings with aroids. It will be nice to know what size your tubers are. You may not know the International Aroid Society well. If so, sincerely hope you can join us. Please check the Membership Page at the IAS web site. Many thanks and good luck.

My work involves propagating plants in tissue culture. A few years ago I began work in the genus Amorphophallus using A. konjac as my model since there were sources to get starting material. Experiments worked well and I now have about 500 corms of A. konjac. I would like to find a source to sell them so the money could be recycled into my research program. I would also like to try my methods on other species. Last year we tried A. bulbifer and it looks very promising. So my question is this. Could you suggest a method by which I might have success selling my tubers? How about obtaining other species? Any help greatly appreciated Michael Marcotrigiano Associate Professor Guanghua Zhu Missouri Botanical Garden P. O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO 63166-0299, USA Phone: (314)577-9454 Fax: (314)577-9438
