A parenchymatic medium solidifier for plant in vitro culture

The efficacies of sago (from Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) and isubgol (from Plantago ovata Forsk.) as gelling agents and those of filter paper, nylon cloth, polystyrene foam and glass wool cloth as support matrices have been tested for the propagation of plantlets of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev). The performances of these low-cost gelling agents and matrices were found satisfactory and could compare well with that of agar. Glass wool cloth was, however, found to be the best matrix. Comparative cost estimations of the matrices and gelling agents have been presented and their merits and/or demerits have been discussed. For a given quantity of a medium, sago and isubgol cost about 1/18th and 1/10th respectively, compared to agar (e.g. Sigma, purified agar, No. A. 7921). The corresponding costs of the matrices are also less than that of agar. The results showed the potential of the substitutes for economic commercial application, replacing the costliest, though not indispensable, gelling agent agar.
