Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 877))

Abstract

The success in the technology and application of plant tissue culture is greatly influenced by the nature of the culture medium used. A better understanding of the nutritional requirements of cultured cells and tissues can help to choose the most appropriate culture medium for the explant used. It is also important to pay attention to a number of inaccuracies and errors which have appeared in several widely used plant tissue culture basal medium formulations.
