Lindemann Orchid Medium with Vitamins and Sucrose; without A (C08-0442-210)

Lindemann Orchid Medium has been developed for the in vitro culture of the cattleya orchid. Later on, it was used for the propagation of different orchid species. The medium contains macronutrients and microelements as described by Lindemann et al in 1970. It is a nutrient blend of inorganic salts, vitamins, amino acid and carbohydrate. Ammonium sulphate and calcium nitrate serve as sources of nitrogen that induce differentiation and protocorm like bodies formation. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate provides phosphate and maintains buffering in the medium. Microelements like Manganese, Molybdenum, Copper, Iron and Zinc enhance metabolism in plants. Boron plays a key role in the carbohydrate metabolism. Inositol, thiamine, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid act as enzymatic cofactors in universal pathways including glycolysis and TCA cycle along with primary and secondary metabolism in the plants. Glycine serves as source of amino acid. 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.
