प्रश्न
Find out what the various components of the medium used for propagation of an explants in vitro are?
उत्तर
The culture media used to propagate an explant in vitro contains nutrients such as inorganic salts, vitamins, 2-4% sucrose, the amino acid glycine, and growth regulators such as auxin and cytokinin, with or without yeast extract, coconut milk, or banana pulp. The culture media might be liquid, semisolid with gelatin, or solidified with agar. The explant needs these nutrients for proper growth and development.
