What are

Auxins

Auxins are essential plant hormones in tissue culture, stimulating cell elongation, division, and root development. They induce callus formation and promote regeneration, making them indispensable for efficient plant propagation and robust growth. Discover how auxins optimize tissue culture success.

What are

Cytokinins

Cytokinins are essential plant hormones in tissue culture that promote cell division, shoot initiation, and overall growth. They work with auxins to enhance regeneration, delay senescence, and boost shoot development, making them vital for vigorous plant propagation and tissue culture success.

What Are

Gibberellins

Gibberellins are essential plant hormones in tissue culture, promoting stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. They break dormancy and boost overall growth, working synergistically with other hormones to enhance regeneration and improve propagation success.

FAQs

Do you ship Internationally?

Yes, we ship Internationally. Reach out if you have any further questions.

Where can I source high-quality plant tissue culture supplies?

High-quality supplies are critical for reliable results. At Itsumi Botanicals, we offer a curated selection of premium plant growth hormones designed to support both research and hobby projects. Our products are rigorously tested to ensure they meet professional standards.

What is the importance of culture media composition?

The success of tissue culture depends largely on the precise balance of nutrients, hormones, and gelling agents in your media. Variations in composition can affect growth rates and differentiation. Experimenting with different formulations can help optimize results for specific plant species.

Which sterilization methods are recommended for home labs?

While an autoclave is the gold standard, many hobbyists use pressure cookers for small-scale setups. Ensure that all equipment and media are properly sealed and sterilized before use. For larger projects, investing in a professional-grade autoclave is advisable.

Can I customize culture media for different plant species?

Absolutely. Many plants have specific nutritional needs. Adjusting the concentrations of growth regulators (such as auxins and cytokinins) and other components can lead to improved growth and development for various species. Ask us about creating a custom formula for you!

What are some common pitfalls for beginners?

Beginners often struggle with contamination, improper media preparation, and inadequate sterilization practices. Start with small batches, maintain strict aseptic techniques, and gradually expand as you gain confidence and experience.
