Murashige and Skoog Medium (MS) was originally formulated by Murashige and Skoog in 1962 to optimize tobacco callus bioassay system for facilitating the study of cytokinins. Since then, it is widely used for micro propagation, organ culture, callus culture and suspension culture. Murashige and Skoog Medium is a nutrient blend of inorganic salts that provides all essential macroelements and microelements. Increased potassium nitrate serves as a source of nitrogen which aids in growth of callus significantly, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate serves as a source of phosphate. Microelements like Boron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Copper, Iron and Zinc enhance the catabolism in plants. Boron plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism. 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.
