Description
MSP07 MS Basal Salts (Modification 7) –Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium without nitrates, containing 1637.89 mg/L potassium sulfate and appropriate vitamins, serves as a specialized formulation in plant tissue culture to support the growth and development of certain plant species with unique nutritional requirements. This modified medium is particularly advantageous for plant species sensitive to nitrate levels or those that benefit from elevated potassium and sulfate concentrations, fostering enhanced root and shoot development. The absence of nitrates can prevent issues related to nitrogen toxicity and can be crucial for plants that naturally thrive in environments with low nitrogen availability. The added potassium sulfate not only aids in osmotic regulation and nutrient transport but also enhances the synthesis of essential proteins and enzymes, contributing to robust plant growth. This formulation is ideal for optimizing tissue culture protocols for research and commercial propagation, ensuring healthier, more vigorous plantlets.
