  • Product ID: D190

Introduction:

Contains the macro- and micronutrients as described by Driver & Kuniyuki (1984) and McGranahan, et al (1987).
This medium was developed for the multiplication of shoots from nodal explants. The medium was supplemented with 4.5 µM BA and 5 nM IBA. Rooting the shoots was enhanced by dipping the basal ends of the shoots in 5 mM IBA prior to transferring to the greenhouse.
