Preparations
Micromeles caloneura is prepared as adventitious shoots through both direct and indirect induction methods using specific plant hormone combinations. The plant is also prepared as callus, which can be used for suspension culture to aid in proliferation. Researchers utilize lamina explants to facilitate these in vitro propagation processes. Furthermore, the species is prepared as stem tissue to explore the effects of different basal medium types and hormones. Finally, the stem itself serves as a primary explant for studying regeneration and proliferation rates.
