T7954 TM4 Basal Medium

Properties
Form: Powder
Appearance: White to Yellow
Application: Plant Tissue Culture
Solubility: Soluble in Water
Typical Working Concentration: 2.99g/L
Storage Temp: 2-6°C
Storage Temp of Stock Solution: Concentrated solutions are not recommended as insolubles may form.
Other Notes: Contains the micro- and macronutrients as well as the vitamins described by Shahin (1984) in his research with tomato protoplasts. He notes the concentration of potassium iodide used in his work as 0.38g/L. This amount is presumed to be a typo due to cross reference of this medium formulation with his patent (#4634674) also describing this medium, but with 0.83 g/L KI. His patent also mentions the addition of casein hydrolysate, which is not included in this formulation. His patent does not include choline chloride at 0.1 mg/L, while it is included in his research paper (1984), and is included in this formulation
