In the process of plant tissue culture, the culture medium plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants under sterile conditions. These media provide essential nutrients to plant cells, tissues, and organs. Therefore, services providing tissue culture media are essential for practitioners in this field, whether in research laboratories, commercial seedling production, or variegated plant cultivation, which has specific requirements.
Tissue culture media consist of key components, including mineral salts (macro and micronutrients), vitamins, carbohydrates (such as sucrose), amino acids, and plant hormones (such as auxins and cytokinins). These components are proportionally adjusted to suit each plant species and the objectives of the culture, such as plant multiplication, root induction, or embryo development. Especially in variegated plants, controlling the amount and type of hormones is crucial for maintaining color and variegation characteristics.
There are various tissue culture media formulas, each developed to meet the needs of specific plants. Examples of commonly used formulas include:
MS (Murashige and Skoog) Formula: A widely used basic formula suitable for many plant species, with high mineral salt content.
B5 (Gamborg's B5) Formula: Contains lower mineral salt content than the MS formula and is often used for certain plants that require fewer minerals.
White's Formula: An older formula often used for root culture.
In addition to basic formulas, adjusting the formula to suit each plant can be done by increasing or decreasing the amount of plant hormones, adding certain organic substances, or adjusting the pH of the medium. For variegated plants, formula adjustments may include adding substances that stimulate pigment production or maintain variegation, such as copper compounds or antioxidants. Choosing the appropriate formula is therefore crucial for the success of tissue culture, especially in variegated plants that require special care.
