Coconut Milk to clone plants?
Comments (9)This should help shed more light: Cytokinins "The effect of cytokinins was first reported when it was found that adding the liquid endosperm of coconuts to developing plant embryos in culture stimulated their growth. The stimulating growth factor was found to be cytokinin, a hormone that promotes cytokinesis (cell division). Almost 200 naturally-occurring or synthetic cytokinins are known, to date. Cytokinins are most abundant in growing tissues, such as roots, embryos, and fruits, where cell division is occurring. Cytokinins are known to delay senescence in leaf tissues, promote mitosis, and stimulate differentiation of the meristem in shoots and roots. Many effects on plant development are under the influence of cytokinins, either in conjunction with auxin or another hormone. For example, apical dominance seems to result from a balance between auxins that inhibit lateral buds and cytokinins that promote bushier growth" from - https://www.boundless.com/biology/plant-form-and-physiology/plant-sensory-systems-and-responses/auxins-cytokinins-and-gibberellins/ My conclusion is that coconut milk should be used in conjunction with a rooting hormone, not just left in diluted coconut milk concoction itself. Willow tree tea mixed with coconut milk recipe, might work. Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Hormones...See MoreWhat do you do with coconut milk? Fiddleheads?
Comments (4)I use coconut milk in rice pudding and have used it in the past in a Thai soup (which I didn't care for, so I won't bother to post the recipe). WE have fiddleheads but we mostly just saute them. Grandma used to use bacon grease and then crumble the bacon over top the fiddleheads when serving. I used olive oil instead but they weren't the same, so I reverted to bacon. Another local delicacy is just starting to pop up, morel mushrooms. I don't care much for them but I love to hunt them.

Comments (14)It freezes, but you might have to give a good shake or stir when you thaw it. Other than that thawed coconut milk is great in your recipes. But if you made your original dish last week I don't think I'd recommend freezing it now. Same day or day after I'd have frozen it. That's if I was being efficient. Me, who has 3/4's of a quart of buttermilk in the refrigerator right now. I needed a cup (a week ago) and Safeway had only quarts, I bought the quart rather than make another stop at a second store and we don't drink it....See More- 8 years ago
