Media Components
One of the most important factors governing the growth and morphogenesis of plant tissues in culture is the composition of the culture medium.
The basic nutrient requirements of cultured plant cells are very similar to those of whole plants.
![Page 3: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Several media formulations are commonly used for the majority of all cell and tissue culture work.
Media Components
![Page 4: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
These media formulations include those described by
White, Murashige and Skoog, Gamborg et. al., Schenk and Hilderbrandt, Nitsch and Nitsch, and Lloyd and McCown. Murashige and Skoog’s MS medium, Schenk and Hildebrand’s SH medium, and Gamborg’s B-5 medium.

Plant tissue and cell culture media are generally made up of some or all of the following components:
Macronutrients, Micronutrients,
Vitamins, Amino Acids Or Other Nitrogen Supplements,
Sugar(s), Other Undefined Organic Supplements,
Solidifying Agents Or Support Systems, And Growth Regulators.
Media Components
![Page 6: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Macronutrients
The macronutrients provide the six major elements- Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), & Sulfur (S)-required for plant cell or tissue growth.
![Page 7: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Culture media should contain at least 25-60 mM of inorganic nitrogen for adequate plant
cell growth.
The optimum concentration of each nutrient for achieving maximum growth rates varies considerably among species.
Macronutrients
![Page 8: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Potassium is required for cell growth of most plant species. Most media contain K, in the nitrate or chloride form, at concentrations of 20-30 mM.
Macronutrients
![Page 9: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The optimum concentrations of P, Mg, S, and Ca range from 1-3 mM when all other requirements for cell growth are satisfied.
Higher concentrations of these nutrients may be required if deficiencies in other nutrients exist.
Macronutrients
![Page 10: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The essential micronutrients for plant cell and tissue growth include iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), boron (B), copper (Cu), and molybdenum (Mo).
Micronutrients
Chelated forms of iron and zinc are commonly used in preparing culture media.
![Page 11: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Iron may be the most critical of all the micronutrients. Iron citrate and tartrate may be used in culture media, but these compounds are difficult to dissolve and frequently precipitate after media are prepared.
Murashige and Skoog used an ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-iron chelate to bypass this problem.
Micronutrients
![Page 12: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The preferred carbohydrate in plant cell culture media is sucrose.
Glucose and fructose may be substituted in some cases, glucose being as effective as
sucrose and fructose being somewhat less effective.
Carbon and Energy Source
![Page 13: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Carbohydrates that have been tested include lactose, galactose, rafinose, maltose, and starch.
Sucrose concentrations of culture media normally range between 2 and 3 percent.
Use of autoclaved fructose can be detrimental to cell growth.
Carbon and Energy Source

Normal plants synthesize the vitamins required for their growth and development. Vitamins are required by plants as catalysts
in various metabolic processes.
Vitamins
![Page 15: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Plant cells and tissues are grown in vitro, some vitamins may become limiting factors for cell growth.
Vitamins
![Page 16: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vitamins most frequently used in cell and tissue culture media include thiamin (B1), nicotinic acid, pyridoxine (B6), and myo-inositol.
Thiamin is the one vitamin that is basically required by all cells for growth
Vitamins

Cultured cells are normally capable of synthesizing all of the required amino acids, the addition of certain amino acids or amino acid mixtures may be used to further stimulate cell growth.
Amino Acids or Other Nitrogen Supplements
![Page 18: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The use of amino acids is particularly important for establishing cell cultures and protoplast cultures.
Amino Acids or Other Nitrogen Supplements
![Page 19: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Wide variety of organic extracts to culture media often results in favorable tissue responses.
Supplements that have been tested include protein hydrolysates, coconut milk, yeast extracts, malt extracts, ground banana, orange juice, and tomato juice.
Undefined Organic Supplements
![Page 20: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Agar is the most commonly used gelling agent for preparing semisolid and solid plant tissue culture media.
Agar has several advantages over other gelling agents. First, when agar is mixed with
water, it forms a gel that melts at approximately 60°-100° C and solidifies at
approximately 45°C.
Solidifying Agents or Support Systems
![Page 21: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Agar gels are stable at all feasible incubation temperatures.
Agar gels do not react with media constituents and are not digested by plant
enzymes.
Solidifying Agents or Support Systems
![Page 22: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Four Classes of growth regulators are important in plant tissue culture:-
Auxins, Cytokinins,
Gibberellins,Abscisic acid.
Growth Regulators
![Page 23: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The use of stock solutions reduces the number of repetitive operations involved in media preparation and, hence, the chance of human or experimental error.
Stock Solutions
![Page 24: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Direct weighing of media components (e.g., micronutrients and hormones) that are required only in milligram or microgram quantities in the final formulation cannot be performed with sufficient accuracy for tissue culture work.
Stock Solutions
![Page 25: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Storage conditions for most stock solutions have already been pointed out; however, some additional points can be made.
Many labs prepare stock solutions and then divide them into aliquots sufficient to prepare from 1 to 10 liter of medium; these aliquots are stored in small vials or plastic bags in a freezer.
Storage of Stock Solutions
![Page 26: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This procedure removes the inconvenience of having to un-thaw a large volume of frozen stock each time medium is prepared.
Heating in a microwave oven is a satisfactory and quick method of thawing concentrated medium.
Storage of Stock Solutions
![Page 27: Tissue Culture Media and Componants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a0d8b81a28abeb378b53bf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Nutrient salts and vitamins are prepared as stock solutions (20X or 200X concentration of that required in the medium) as specified.
The stocks are stored at 40 C. The desired amount of concentrated stocks is mixed to prepare 1 liter of medium.
