Application Notes
Coconut
powder
has been shown to stimulate shoot proliferation in many
plant
species
. This is most likely due to its
unique composition of nutr
ients and natural phytohormones
. It is most commonly used in orchid tissue culture as a
medium supplement
. Introduced by Overbeek et al. in 1940, coconut water was used as a new component of
nutrient medium for callus cultures (1941)
and has since become a popular additive
in tissue culture media.
PhytoTechnology Laboratories® also carries Freeze Dried Organic Coconut Powder, Product No. C1780, and
