M.S Media preparation and sterilization
AIM: Preparation of stock solutions of MS (Murashige & Skoog, 1962) basal medium and plant growth
regulator stocks.
PRINCIPLE:
The basal medium is formulated so that it provides all of the compounds needed for plant growth and
development, including certain compounds that can be made by an intact plant, but not by an isolated piece of
plant tissue. The tissue culture medium consists of 95% water, macro- and micronutrients, vitamins, amino
acids, sugars. The nutrients in the media are used by the plant cells as building blocks for the synthesis of
organic molecules, or as catalysators in enzymatic reactions. The macronutrients are required in millimolar
(mM) quantities while micronutrients are needed in much lower (micromolar, µM) concentrations. Vitamins are
organic substances that are parts of enzymes or cofactors for essential metabolic functions. Sugar is essential for
in vitro growth and development as most plant cultures are unable to photosynthesize effectively for a variety of
reasons. Murashige & Skoog (1962) medium (MS) is the most suitable and commonly used basic tissue culture
medium for plant regeneration. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) at a very low concentration (0.1 to 100 µM)
regulate the initiation and development of shoots and roots on explants on semisolid or in liquid medium
cultures. The auxins and cytokinins are the two most important classes of PGRs used in tissue culture. The
relative effects of auxin and cytokinin ratio determine the morphogenesis of cultured tissues.
MATERIALS:
• Beakers (100 ml, 500 ml and 1000 ml)
• Measuring cylinders (500 ml)
• Disposable syringes (5 ml)
• Disposable syringe filter (0.22 µm)
• Autoclaved eppendorf tubes (2 ml)
• Eppendorf stand
• Benzyl-aminopurine
• Naphthalene acetic
Media constituents
Inorganic nutrients
Mineral elements are very important in the life of a plant. Besides, C, H, N, and O, 12 other elements are known
to be essential for plant growth. According to the recommendations of the International Association for Plant
Physiology, the elements required by plants in concentration greater than 0.5 mmol/l are referred to as
macroelemetns or major elements and those required in concentration less than the prescribed amount are
microelements of minor elements. A variety of salts supply the needed macro and micronutrients that are the
same as those required by the normal plant.
Major salts : The salts of potassium (K), nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg),phosphorus (P) and
sulphur (S) are required in macro or millimole quantities. Nitrogen is generally used as nitrate or ammonium
salts, sulphur as sulphates and phosphorus as phosphates.
Minor salts : The salts of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iodine (I), molybdenum
(Mo) and cobalt (Co) are required in micromolar concentrations and are considered to be minor salts. These
salts are essential for the growth of tissues and are required in trace quantities.
Carbon and energy source
The standard carbon source without exception is sucrose but plant tissues can utilize a variety of carbohydrates
such as glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, galactose and starch. In the cultured tissues or cells, photosynthesis
3
is inhibited and thus carbohydrates are needed for tissue growth in the medium. Sucrose, at a concentration of
2-5% in the medium, is widely used. The autoclaving process does cause an alteration in the sugars by
hydrolysis but presents no drawbacks to the growth plan. Most media contain myoinositol at a concentration of
100-mg per litre, which improves cell growth.
VITAMINS
Normal plants synthesize the vitamins required for growth and development, but plant cells in culture have an
absolute requirement for vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B (nicotinic acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Some
media contain pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, p-amino benzoic acid, choline chloride, riboflavine and
ascorbic acid. The concentrations are in the order of one mg/l. Myo-inositol is another vitamin used in
the nutrient medium with a concentration of the order of 10-100 mg/l.
GROWTH REGULATORS
Hormones now referred to as growth regulators are organic compounds that have been naturally synthesized in
higher plants, which influence growth and development. These are usually active at different sites from where
they are produced and are only present and active in very small quantities. Two main classes of growth
regulators of special importance in plant tissue culture are the auxins and cytokinins, while others are of minor
importance, viz., gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene, etc. Some of the naturally-occurring growth regulators are
indole acetic acid (IAA), an auxin and zeatin and isopentenyl adenine (2 iP) as cytokinins, while others are
synthetic growth regulators.
Auxins
Auxin was discovered following experiments on the reaction of coleoptiles curvature in Gramineae. It owes its
name to its effect on the elongation of cells (auxesis).
Auxins have an indole nucleus with the basic formula C10H9O2N.A common feature of auxins is their property
to induce cell division and cell elongation. The stimulation of division of cells of cambial origin resulted in
initial successes with in vitro cultures. This effect leads to a number of cells, which further result in the
formation of callus. Auxin has a clear rhizogenic action, i.e. induction ofadventitious roots. It often inhibits
adventitious and auxillary shoot formation. At low auxin concentration, adventitious root formation
predominates, whereas at high auxin concentration, root formation fails to occur and callus formation takes
place. All the plants synthesize auxin that is modulated according to the stage of development. Auxin is present
in sufficient concentration in the growing shoot tips or flowering tips of plants to ensure cell multiplication and
elongation. Auxin circulates from the top towards the base of the organs with a polarity strongly marked in
young organs. The compounds most frequently used and highly effective are 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid
(2,4-D), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), indole acetic acid (IAA), indole butyric acid (IBA).Other auxins in use
are 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T), p-chlorophenoxy aceticacid (pCPA) and pichoram (4-amino-
3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid).
Cytokinins
Cytokinins were discovered during in vitro culture studies. Coconut milk was known to have a favourable effect
on cellular multiplication and bud formation. Cytokinins are derivatives of adenine and have an important role
in shoot induction. Cytokinins also have a clear effect on cell division. Often used to stimulate growth and
development, they usually promote cell division if added together with an auxin. Auxins favour DNA
duplication and cytokinins enable the separation of chromosomes. Cytokinins have a clear role in organogenesis
where they stimulate bud formation. They are antagonistic to rhizogenesis. At higher concentrations (1 to 10
mg/l), adventitious shoot formation is induced but root formation is generally inhibited. Cytokinins promote
axillary shoot formation by decreasing apical dominance. The most frequently used compounds are kinetic,
benzyl adenine (BA) or 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP), zeatin, and isopentenyladenine (2 iP). Zeatin and 2 iP are
natural cytokinins.
4
Gibberellin
Gibberellins are normally used in plant regeneration. GA3 is essential for meristem culture of some species. In
general, gibberellins induce elongation of internodes and the growth of meristems or buds in vitro. In its
absence, the culture appears globular, due to the accumulation of nodes. Gibberellins usually inhibit
adventitious root as well as shoot formation. During organogenesis, gibberellins are antagonistic. They seem to
oppose the phenomenon of dedifferentiation. Thus, in in vitro cultures, they cannot be used for this purpose, but
can be utilized for explants already organized (meristems, apices, buds).
Preparation of M.S media
 An appropriate amount of stock solution of salt are transferred to one liter flask
 To this organic suppliments ( coconut milk , malt)carbon source(glucose or sucrose) are added
 The final volume is made up to liter by adding distilled water and the pH is adjusted to 5.0 -5.8
 Solidifying agent agar is added to get semisolid media
 The melted medium is poured in to culture vessels and plugged with non absorbent cotton and sterilized
at 121 ºC for 20 min at 15lbs
 Media is allowed to cool and stored at 25 ºC for further use.
MS NUTRIENTS STOCKS
Nutrient salts and vitamins are prepared as stock solutions (20X or 200 X concentrations of that required in the
medium) as specified. The stocks are stored at 4
0
C. The desired amount of concentrated stocks is mixed to
prepare 1 liter of medium.

Preparation of explants and callus induction
Aim: choose explants and prepare for inoculation and induction of callus
Plant preparation
Principle : Plant cells and tissues are totipotent in nature i.e., every individual plant cell or tissue has the same
genetic makeup and capable of developing along a "programmed" pathway leading to the formation of an entire
plant that is identical to the plant from which it was derived. The totipotency of the plant cells and tissues form
the basis for in vitro cloning i.e., generation or multiplication of genetically identical plants in in vitro culture.
The ability to propagate new plants from a cells or tissues of parent plant has many interesting possibilities.
Requirements :Beakers, Measuring cylinders, Conical flasks, Cotton plugs, Sucrose, BAP (1mM stock), Agar
Agar, Forceps, Blade Holder, Sterilized blades , NAA (1 mM stock), Micropipettes, sterilized microtips, cork
borers, petridishes.
Procedure
 Any living part of the plant used for culturing in tissue culture is called as explant.
 The explant of a garden or potted plant carries germs on its surface. Hence its surface must be cleaned by a
detergent in running water and surface sterilized with disinfectants like Sodium hypochlorite solution.
 Later rinsed in distilled water.
 Hands are sterilized with 70% alcohol and allowed to dry
 Trim the explants to different size
6
 The sized explants are transferred to petriplate containing 0.1% mercuric chloride
 Then wash it with water to remove trace amounts of mercuric chloride
 The mouth of the culture tube is flamed and the explants are aseptically transferred to the culture tube
containing sterilized media.
 The mouth of the tube is again and the mouth of the tube is again plugged immediately.
 Then the tubes are incubated at 25ºC under16 hr of photoperiod with ~1000lux light intensity for 1 to 2
weeks.
 Record the observation

Sub culture and maintenance of callus
Aim: To maintain the subculture and maintain callus culture.
Principle: Growing culture exhausts the media in culture flasks, when the nutrient level comes down the callus
is transferred to fresh medium, the maintenance of fragmented callus in fresh nutrient medium is called
subculture.
Requirement: MS media supplemented with 2,4,D in culture flasks, forceps, petriplate, laminar air flow unit.
Procedure:
 Subculture of the callus is carried out under aseptic condition in laminar air flow.
 With the help of sterile process soft callus is broken down in to small pieces.
 The smaller portion of callus is transferred to fresh media and flasks are incubated under light at 25+
2ºC.
 Culture flasks are periodically checked for contamination and proliferation or growth of callus.
 Generally subculture is done at regular intervals of about 4 weeks.
Culture tube cut pieces of callus Callus transferred to fresh culture tubes

Regeneration of plant from callus
Aim: to regenerate callus using growth regulators
Principle: The M.S medium is most suitable for plant regeneration from tissue and callus. The hormones are
the most important components in plant regenerating media. The capacity for plant regenerating tissue, vary
widely in different species. In some species the morphogenesis is readily induced (carrot, coffee)and developed
in to complete plant while in others fails to occur.
Requirements: Callus, M.S liquid medium, shaker, auxins , cytokines, forceps, pots, green house, growth
chamber etc
Preparation of rooting medium-
M.S rooting media is formulated with high proportion of auxin
Ex- 1) IAA (3mg/lt) and low proportion of cytokines.
2) BAP or kinetin (0.02mg/lt) induce root developed from callus
Procedure
 Transfer callus in to flask, each containing 20 ml of liquid M.S media
 Shake the culture flask on a shaker at 150rpm to disassociate callus in to single cells
 Aseptically transfer a small callus (tissue) on to M.S medium with 3mg/lt Indole acetic acid and 0.02
mg/lt of BAP
 Incubate at 25 to 27ºC in light (100klux) to develop the tissue in to a large callus and shoot for four to
five weeks.
 When shoot appears transplant these on M.S medium with 0.03mg/lt IAA and 2mg/lt BAP.
 Keep the pots in green house or growth chamber where high humidity is maintained and then planted in
main fields.
Observation- appearance of callus and shoot takes place after four weeks of incubation on M.S media
supplemented with hormones. Root appears later from the callus with shoots in M.S rooting media.
The plants in the plant will grow to maturity flower and set seeds similar to the plants that grow in nature.

CELL COUNTING AND VIABILITY
Aim: To ensure the population of cells required for the culture works by cell counting method and its
Viability by vital staining methods
Introduction
Haemocytometer (also known as hemocytometer) is a glass slide with two counting chambers etched
in a surface area of 9mm square. Each chamber is divided into nine 1.0mm square. It has raised sides which
keep the cover slip 0.1mm above the chamber floor so that the total volume of each square becomes
0.0001ml(1.0mm x 0.1mm or 0.1mm² or 10² cm³, L x W x H ).
Principle
Staining of cells identifies viable cells. Stains generally used are Trypan Blue, Erythrosin B and
Nigrosin. Nuclei of damaged or dead cells take up the stain whereas the viable cells do not do so.
Requirements
Cell suspension
Spirit lamp
Hemocytometer
Microscope
Micropipette
Tryphan Blue 0.4%
Procedure:
1. Take the Hemocytometer and place it on the flat surface of the work bench. Place the cover slip on the
counting chamber.
2. Mix 20μl cells that have been well mixed prior to sampling with an equal volume of tryphan blue.
3. Apply to a hemocytometer by pipetting from the edge of the cover slip and permitting diffusion by
capillary action.
4. Make sure that there is no air bubble and there is no overfilling beyond the ruled area.
5. Leave the counting chamber on the bench for 2-3 minutes to allow the cells to settle.
6. Place the counting chamber on the stage of the microscope between the clips to the hold slide so that the
counting chamber can be moved (if the microscope is provided with a moving stage).
7. Switch to low power (10x) objective, adjust the light (less light needed, hence close the aperture or lower
the condenser) and focus on the wall of the counting chamber.
8. Then slowly move the stage towards the middle of the slide until the ruling area visible, sharpen the focus
and locate the large square in the centre.
9. Locate the large square in the centre with 25 small squares. Place in the middle of the field of vision and
examine the distribution of viable cells on the entire area. It must be uniform or else refill the chamber with
cell suspension.
10. Carefully switch to high power objective (40 x) and move the chamber so that the smaller upper left corner
square (with 16 smaller squares) is completely in the field of vision.
11. Count the number of unstained cells seen on the small square (0.2x0.2=0.04sq mm) of the upper left
corner which is divided into 16 smaller squares to facilitate counting.
12. Repeat the counting with three other corner squares.
13. Make a total of all the cells counted in 4 squares.

  • 2. 2 Experiment no 1 M.S Media preparation and sterilization AIM: Preparation of stock solutions of MS (Murashige & Skoog, 1962) basal medium and plant growth regulator stocks. PRINCIPLE: The basal medium is formulated so that it provides all of the compounds needed for plant growth and development, including certain compounds that can be made by an intact plant, but not by an isolated piece of plant tissue. The tissue culture medium consists of 95% water, macro- and micronutrients, vitamins, amino acids, sugars. The nutrients in the media are used by the plant cells as building blocks for the synthesis of organic molecules, or as catalysators in enzymatic reactions. The macronutrients are required in millimolar (mM) quantities while micronutrients are needed in much lower (micromolar, µM) concentrations. Vitamins are organic substances that are parts of enzymes or cofactors for essential metabolic functions. Sugar is essential for in vitro growth and development as most plant cultures are unable to photosynthesize effectively for a variety of reasons. Murashige & Skoog (1962) medium (MS) is the most suitable and commonly used basic tissue culture medium for plant regeneration. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) at a very low concentration (0.1 to 100 µM) regulate the initiation and development of shoots and roots on explants on semisolid or in liquid medium cultures. The auxins and cytokinins are the two most important classes of PGRs used in tissue culture. The relative effects of auxin and cytokinin ratio determine the morphogenesis of cultured tissues. MATERIALS: • Beakers (100 ml, 500 ml and 1000 ml) • Measuring cylinders (500 ml) • Disposable syringes (5 ml) • Disposable syringe filter (0.22 µm) • Autoclaved eppendorf tubes (2 ml) • Eppendorf stand • Benzyl-aminopurine • Naphthalene acetic Media constituents Inorganic nutrients Mineral elements are very important in the life of a plant. Besides, C, H, N, and O, 12 other elements are known to be essential for plant growth. According to the recommendations of the International Association for Plant Physiology, the elements required by plants in concentration greater than 0.5 mmol/l are referred to as macroelemetns or major elements and those required in concentration less than the prescribed amount are microelements of minor elements. A variety of salts supply the needed macro and micronutrients that are the same as those required by the normal plant. Major salts : The salts of potassium (K), nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg),phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) are required in macro or millimole quantities. Nitrogen is generally used as nitrate or ammonium salts, sulphur as sulphates and phosphorus as phosphates. Minor salts : The salts of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iodine (I), molybdenum (Mo) and cobalt (Co) are required in micromolar concentrations and are considered to be minor salts. These salts are essential for the growth of tissues and are required in trace quantities. Carbon and energy source The standard carbon source without exception is sucrose but plant tissues can utilize a variety of carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, galactose and starch. In the cultured tissues or cells, photosynthesis
  • 3. 3 is inhibited and thus carbohydrates are needed for tissue growth in the medium. Sucrose, at a concentration of 2-5% in the medium, is widely used. The autoclaving process does cause an alteration in the sugars by hydrolysis but presents no drawbacks to the growth plan. Most media contain myoinositol at a concentration of 100-mg per litre, which improves cell growth. VITAMINS Normal plants synthesize the vitamins required for growth and development, but plant cells in culture have an absolute requirement for vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B (nicotinic acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Some media contain pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, p-amino benzoic acid, choline chloride, riboflavine and ascorbic acid. The concentrations are in the order of one mg/l. Myo-inositol is another vitamin used in the nutrient medium with a concentration of the order of 10-100 mg/l. GROWTH REGULATORS Hormones now referred to as growth regulators are organic compounds that have been naturally synthesized in higher plants, which influence growth and development. These are usually active at different sites from where they are produced and are only present and active in very small quantities. Two main classes of growth regulators of special importance in plant tissue culture are the auxins and cytokinins, while others are of minor importance, viz., gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene, etc. Some of the naturally-occurring growth regulators are indole acetic acid (IAA), an auxin and zeatin and isopentenyl adenine (2 iP) as cytokinins, while others are synthetic growth regulators. Auxins Auxin was discovered following experiments on the reaction of coleoptiles curvature in Gramineae. It owes its name to its effect on the elongation of cells (auxesis). Auxins have an indole nucleus with the basic formula C10H9O2N.A common feature of auxins is their property to induce cell division and cell elongation. The stimulation of division of cells of cambial origin resulted in initial successes with in vitro cultures. This effect leads to a number of cells, which further result in the formation of callus. Auxin has a clear rhizogenic action, i.e. induction ofadventitious roots. It often inhibits adventitious and auxillary shoot formation. At low auxin concentration, adventitious root formation predominates, whereas at high auxin concentration, root formation fails to occur and callus formation takes place. All the plants synthesize auxin that is modulated according to the stage of development. Auxin is present in sufficient concentration in the growing shoot tips or flowering tips of plants to ensure cell multiplication and elongation. Auxin circulates from the top towards the base of the organs with a polarity strongly marked in young organs. The compounds most frequently used and highly effective are 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), indole acetic acid (IAA), indole butyric acid (IBA).Other auxins in use are 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T), p-chlorophenoxy aceticacid (pCPA) and pichoram (4-amino- 3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid). Cytokinins Cytokinins were discovered during in vitro culture studies. Coconut milk was known to have a favourable effect on cellular multiplication and bud formation. Cytokinins are derivatives of adenine and have an important role in shoot induction. Cytokinins also have a clear effect on cell division. Often used to stimulate growth and development, they usually promote cell division if added together with an auxin. Auxins favour DNA duplication and cytokinins enable the separation of chromosomes. Cytokinins have a clear role in organogenesis where they stimulate bud formation. They are antagonistic to rhizogenesis. At higher concentrations (1 to 10 mg/l), adventitious shoot formation is induced but root formation is generally inhibited. Cytokinins promote axillary shoot formation by decreasing apical dominance. The most frequently used compounds are kinetic, benzyl adenine (BA) or 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP), zeatin, and isopentenyladenine (2 iP). Zeatin and 2 iP are natural cytokinins.
  • 4. 4 Gibberellin Gibberellins are normally used in plant regeneration. GA3 is essential for meristem culture of some species. In general, gibberellins induce elongation of internodes and the growth of meristems or buds in vitro. In its absence, the culture appears globular, due to the accumulation of nodes. Gibberellins usually inhibit adventitious root as well as shoot formation. During organogenesis, gibberellins are antagonistic. They seem to oppose the phenomenon of dedifferentiation. Thus, in in vitro cultures, they cannot be used for this purpose, but can be utilized for explants already organized (meristems, apices, buds). Preparation of M.S media  An appropriate amount of stock solution of salt are transferred to one liter flask  To this organic suppliments ( coconut milk , malt)carbon source(glucose or sucrose) are added  The final volume is made up to liter by adding distilled water and the pH is adjusted to 5.0 -5.8  Solidifying agent agar is added to get semisolid media  The melted medium is poured in to culture vessels and plugged with non absorbent cotton and sterilized at 121 ºC for 20 min at 15lbs  Media is allowed to cool and stored at 25 ºC for further use. MS NUTRIENTS STOCKS Nutrient salts and vitamins are prepared as stock solutions (20X or 200 X concentrations of that required in the medium) as specified. The stocks are stored at 4 0 C. The desired amount of concentrated stocks is mixed to prepare 1 liter of medium. Murashige T & Skoog F (1962) A revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures.

  • 14. 14 Experiment no 2 CELL COUNTING AND VIABILITY Aim: To ensure the population of cells required for the culture works by cell counting method and its Viability by vital staining methods Introduction Haemocytometer (also known as hemocytometer) is a glass slide with two counting chambers etched in a surface area of 9mm square. Each chamber is divided into nine 1.0mm square. It has raised sides which keep the cover slip 0.1mm above the chamber floor so that the total volume of each square becomes 0.0001ml(1.0mm x 0.1mm or 0.1mm² or 10² cm³, L x W x H ). Principle Staining of cells identifies viable cells. Stains generally used are Trypan Blue, Erythrosin B and Nigrosin. Nuclei of damaged or dead cells take up the stain whereas the viable cells do not do so. Requirements Cell suspension Spirit lamp Hemocytometer Microscope Micropipette Tryphan Blue 0.4% Procedure: 1. Take the Hemocytometer and place it on the flat surface of the work bench. Place the cover slip on the counting chamber. 2. Mix 20μl cells that have been well mixed prior to sampling with an equal volume of tryphan blue. 3. Apply to a hemocytometer by pipetting from the edge of the cover slip and permitting diffusion by capillary action. 4. Make sure that there is no air bubble and there is no overfilling beyond the ruled area. 5. Leave the counting chamber on the bench for 2-3 minutes to allow the cells to settle. 6. Place the counting chamber on the stage of the microscope between the clips to the hold slide so that the counting chamber can be moved (if the microscope is provided with a moving stage). 7. Switch to low power (10x) objective, adjust the light (less light needed, hence close the aperture or lower the condenser) and focus on the wall of the counting chamber. 8. Then slowly move the stage towards the middle of the slide until the ruling area visible, sharpen the focus and locate the large square in the centre. 9. Locate the large square in the centre with 25 small squares. Place in the middle of the field of vision and examine the distribution of viable cells on the entire area. It must be uniform or else refill the chamber with cell suspension. 10. Carefully switch to high power objective (40 x) and move the chamber so that the smaller upper left corner square (with 16 smaller squares) is completely in the field of vision. 11. Count the number of unstained cells seen on the small square (0.2x0.2=0.04sq mm) of the upper left corner which is divided into 16 smaller squares to facilitate counting. 12. Repeat the counting with three other corner squares. 13. Make a total of all the cells counted in 4 squares.
