Plant Medium
AffiPLANT is a specialized plant medium engineered for optimizing in vitro cultivation, micropropagation, and plant tissue culture. This medium is designed to provide an enhanced environment for plant cell growth, ensuring high nutrient availability and efficient nutrient absorption.
Content
AffiPLANT medium is a precisely formulated mixture of macro and micronutrients, vitamins, and supplements. The key components include:
- Macro Nutrients
- Nitrogen (as nitrate and ammonium)
- Phosphorus (as phosphate ions)
- Potassium
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Micronutrients
- Iron (chelated for stability and uptake)
- Manganese
- Zinc
- Copper
- Boron
- Molybdenum
- Vitamins and Organic Additives
- Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
- Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)
- Nicotinic acid (Vitamin B3)
- Glycine
- Myo-inositol
- Plant Growth Regulators
- Auxins (e.g., IAA, NAA) for root induction.
- Cytokinins (e.g., BAP, Kinetin) for shoot proliferation.
- Gibberellins (optional, for elongation).
Applications of AffiPLANT Medium
- Plant Tissue Culture and Micropropagation
- Used for rapid clonal propagation of commercially valuable plant species.
- Provides optimal conditions for shoot multiplication, callus induction, and root development.
- Genetic Engineering and Transformation Studies
- Serves as a stable base medium during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
- Supports regeneration of transgenic plants.
- Conservation of Rare and Endangered Species
- Enables the preservation and multiplication of plant species with restricted natural habitats.
- Phytochemical Studies
- Used for growing cultures to analyze secondary metabolite production under controlled conditions.
- Research in Plant Physiology
- Helps study the effect of various growth regulators, stress factors, and nutrient deficiencies.
AffiPLANT’s formulation is customizable based on the target plant species. Adjustments in growth regulators and carbohydrate sources allow its application across diverse plant taxa. Additionally, its high purity reduces contamination risks, ensuring reproducibility of results in research and industrial applications.
