Hi,
Pardon my ignorance on tissue culture. Why can't people like Wistuba or Bob Cantley, do their tissue cultures straight off cuttings from plants from the wild, rather than from plants grown from seeds? Plants from seeds take 2-3 years to mature and by then only discovered that the plants may not be pure! Surely, a leaf or two from a plant won't hurt.
