    Chimera's

    Ripped off of the Shroomery. Here are some selected passages, with pages from the book to follow, from Teratopia: “A large number of grafts are made (1) and, when united, cut across horizontally to expose the maximum area where the two tissues abut (2). All normal shoots that grow out subsequently are nipped out in order to encourage one to arise exactly on the line of the graft (3), carrying up tissues of both components (4,5). This can then be propagated and selectively pruned to try to obtain the stable periclinical form of the chimera.” “Mr. Hirao in Japan tells me that he has seen a number of sectorial chimeras of Ariocarpus Kotschubeyanus, Epithelantha Micromeris, Gymnocalycium Denudatum, and G. Michanovii following the grafting on Echinopsis, some of which he went on to describe and illustrate in Shaboten 25: 8-9 1960.” “a Ubelmannia Pectinifera seedling was grafted on Echinopsis stock. The graft was successful and the scion grew to about 2 cm. After a number of years I noticed the stock had rotted and the rot had also gone into the scion. I managed to save a small piece which I successfully grafted onto a Cereus stock. As it began to grow I realized it was strange and had the color and some of the features of the Uebelmannia but the form of an Echinopsis. Subsequent behavior is totally in line with that of a chimera having a layer of Ubelmannia tissue over a core of Echinopsis. The flowers (which would arise from the meristematic cells below the surface) are like those of Echinopsis. This chimera is stable and reproducible from offsets, so deserves a name: + Uebelechinopsis for the partnership of Uebelmannia and Echinopsis, and 'Treetopper' as a cultivar name for a tophole introduction by the Trees.” “The frontier between what we find attractive and what repels us as malignant is sometimes quite arbitrary. The “diseased” striped tulips and variegated abutilons have already been mentioned. Cactus growers sooner or later may come across a tumor-like outgrowth on one of their pet plants, often covered in a downy wool or colorful abortive flower buds. I have detached and grafted some of these, and the survivors eventually grew out and reverted to normal growth suggesting that the host cells were outgrowing a pathogen. A dramatic picture gallery of tumors that nobody could love is given by Dubrovsky (2002), who found many of the native cacti in the south of Baja California (Pachycereus Pringlei especially) to be scarred with amorphous corky tumours 2-80cm in diameter; some accompanied by a hemiparastic mistletoe, Phoradendron Diguetianum. He compares them to crown galls produced by Agrobacterium Tumefaciens in non-succulents. Haha, been busy! Im on it now.. but truthfully the photos are just hurting me. Thank you 100 times over for posting this, you have confirmed my suspicions and bumped this book to the top of my 'to buy' list What I gather from the first paragraph is... The objective is to slice the united stock horizontally leaving a small piece of scion attached, then repeatedly force it to bud and continually trim the buds until you get an adventitious bud formed of chimeral tissues from between the stock and scion.. Did it have a pictorial? Im assuming thats what the numbers are for, corresponding images.. If I am correct about what I just said, one could in theory trim all areoles off of the scion (does he suggest this?) AFTER making the horizontal cut.. and then one could apply a BAP solution to the area between the two and hope for the best. I dont exactly understand the directions hes giving.. Are you to cut and leave a thin slice of scion, or cut directly through the vascular bundle, leaving tissues of the scion's vascular bundle, and THEN try to get it to form an adventitious bud right out of the remaining vascular tissue? This is the part I dont understand: Quote: “A large number of grafts are made (1) and, when united, cut across horizontally to expose the maximum area where the two tissues abut (2). Have pics? I better be ready to spend a few hundred.. Because If I read that book its going to be like a shopping catalog until I settle down.. hehe. I need this book. Thanks again for posting this, get back to me on the directions in the first paragraph you posted. BTW, does it mention anything in the book about using radiation on seeds to cause mutation? I have repeatedly read that Gymnocalicium michavonii 'Moon Cactus" is created via treating the seeds with rads, but I cant confirm it. If THIS is possible.. then I must wonder if there are any X-ray technicians with Lophophora seed around here? Thanks again, truly appreciated! Edit: I did some reading about the questions I had.. I think the only questions remaining now are.. How thin do I cut the scion and do I want to include an areole or not? I think this will have to wait until spring, I'll have stock ready. I'll try the BAP when I do it, ill scratch it into the skin right at the fused vascular tissue -M Edited by Methadone (09/07/09 12:55 PM) http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11010433
