In Episode 17: Our guest this week on the podcast is Dr. Lauren Erland, research associate at the University of British Columbia, Kelowna. Dr. Erland shares and discusses with us Artic native plant species and their conservation in the face of climate change. The area of Dr. Erland's study was Inuit Nunangat, a unique cultural, political and geographic zone that encompasses, Nunavut, and Northern Quebec, Labrador and the Northwest Territories. Lauren explains a little bit about the botanical exploration of this area as well as botanical collection methods of seeds, traditional and tissue culture vouchers. Also discussed in this episode is the invitro method of plant propagation using agar with a plant tissue culture as a substrate medium for germination of historically difficult to propagate flora. Who else loves the Orobanchaceae family of plants!?
