Application Notes
6-Benzylaminopurine(BA) is one of the most popular cytokinins used to stimulate in vitro shoot development. It is often used in combination with an auxin, e.g., Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), Napthaleneacetic acid (NAA), Indole-3- butyric acid (IBA).
BA is active across a broad range of plant species. Typical working concentration of BA is between 0.1 – 5.0 mg/L. It has been reported that 5-10 mg/L of BA is an optimal range for shoot multiplication of banana culture1 ; while 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L of BA have been used for blackberry culture. 2 At PhytoTechnology Laboratories® most cultures (e.g., Achimenes, African violet, ajuga, begonia, hosta, syngonium, etc.) are maintained on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L of BA and 0.025 mg/L of NAA.
PhytoTechnology Laboratories® also carried 6-Benzylaminopurine Powder, Product No. B800.Please Note: While PhytoTechnology Laboratories™ tests each lot of this product with two or more plant cell/ tissue culture lines, it is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to determine the appropriateness of this product for the specific plants that are being cultured and applications that are being used.
