Gelling Agent for Plant Study
Gellan Gum is a gelling agent used for plant tissue and cell culture. It produces a high transparent gel, which allows better observation of root growth compared with conventional agar gel.
Comparison Data with Agar Gel
Root growth observation
Seeds of Komatsuna (Brassica rapa var. perviridis) were inoculated in petri dishes containing a MS medium with either 0.8% agar or 0.2% Gellan Gum under sterile conditions. The seedlings were transferred to plant boxes containing the same medium 5 days later.
These photos were taken on the 6th day.
Temperature: 27 °C
Light Period: 13 hours
Dark Period: 11 hours
Specification
| Passing Rate (5g/l gel, 490 nm) % | more than 70% |
|---|---|
| Loss on drying % | less than 15.0% |
| pH (3g/l, suspension, 25 °C) | 4.5-6.5 |
