Agar Agar has long been used to solidify media for plant tissue culture. The type of agar or gelling agent used can influence the growth of the tissue in culture. Both purity and cost of the gelling agent are important factors in any research or production operation.
The major application of Agar Agar is in the field of plant tissue culture due to its high gel strength,excellent transparency and low mineral content. It is used in the preparation of substrates for the cultivation and developments of plants in vitro.
The growing interest in tissue culture as a standard method for the propagation of orchids and other ornamental plants, vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products.
