Introduction:
Contains the macro-& micronutrients, & vitamins as described by L & S (1964). With 30 g/L sucrose & 7 g/L agar. pH adjusted and buffered.
This medium is the standard Murashige & Skoog (MS) basal salts supplemented with Linsmaier and Skoog vitamins. The medium is pH adjusted and buffered with MES. Under most circumstances, adjusting the pH is not necessary; simply add water and any desired PGR's, gelling agent, or other supplements. The addition of MES will help to stabilize pH fluctuation during media preparation and culture.
