Use Gamborg′s B-5 (B5) medium for in vitro culture of plant cell lines and tissues such as of Taxus globosa, Splachnum ampullaceum Hedw, Linum album, Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Gamborg′s B-5 medium has been used for the culture of Annona squamosa callus.
Gamborg′s B-5 basal medium is an efficient nutrient mixture for plants.
Application
Gamborg′s B-5 Basal Medium with Minimal Organics has also been used:
- as a component of liquid media for the tissue culture of Brassica rapa
- as a component of callus inducing medium for culturing Arabidopsis cardiolipin mutant seedlings
- as a component of solid GM medium for germination of Arabidopsis seeds
