Introduction:
Contains the macro- and micronutrients, and vitamins as described by Chu (1975).
Chu (N6) Medium was developed to promote the initiation, growth, and differentiation of callus from rice pollen cultures. Ammonium Nitrate has been replaced by Ammonium Sulfate. The molar concentration of NH4 is 7.0 mM compared to 20.6mM for MS.

Application Notes
Plant Tissue Culture Tested
Plant species: rice (Oryza sativa) Chu (N6) Medium was developed to promote the initiation, growth, and differentiation of callus from rice pollen cultures.
Ammonium nitrate has been replaced by ammonium sulfate. The molar concentration of NH4 + is 7.0 mM compared to 20.6mM for MS
