Culture Media and Their Constituents

Culture media
No single medium can be suggested for all types of plants and organs, so that the details of culture medium need to be worked out for each plant material separately. Several recipes have been developed during the last 40 years (1960-2000); some of them are listed in the table. The most important of these media are MS media, which evolved due to a variety of modifications of the original Ms medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1992). The pH of the medium is usually adjusted between 5.0 and 6.0
