BM-1 Terrestrial Orchid Medium has been specially formulated for the in vitro culture of the terrestrial orchid. It is a nutrient blend of inorganic salts, vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrate and gelling agent. In addition, it is supplemented with casein hydrolysate which is ideal for the improved germination, early protocorm formation and seedling development. L-glutamine and glycine serve as sources of organic nitrogen. Microelements like Manganese, Molybdenum, Copper, Iron and Zinc enhance the metabolism in plants. Boron plays a key role in the carbohydrate metabolism. Thiamine, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid act as enzymatic cofactors in universal pathways including glycolysis and TCA cycle along with the primary and secondary metabolism in the plants. The product is plant tissue culture tested but it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure the suitability of the medium for individual species.
