Contains the macro- & micronutrients, and vitamins as described by Linsmaier & Skoog (1964). 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 fluctuations during media preparation and culture.
