Description
WPP04 WPM Basal Salts (Modification 4) – Powder
As described by Lloyd and McCown, 1981. Contains macronutrients, micronutrients, and vitamins
Commonly known as Woody Plant Medium (WPM) is a complete basal formulation designed to support plant tissue culture and in vitro propagation. It contains a balanced blend of macronutrients, micronutrients, and essential vitamins required for healthy plant growth and development.
Vitamins play a vital role in plant metabolism, acting as cofactors in key biochemical processes and supporting overall vigour during tissue culture. This formulation is particularly well suited to woody and slow-growing plant species that require precise nutrient support.
WPP04 WPM Basal Salts (Modification 4) may be used for the tissue culture and propagation of a wide range of plant species, including:
Orchids – Widely propagated through tissue culture, orchids benefit from the vitamin-enriched composition of WPM to support strong growth and development.
Bamboo– Many bamboo species respond well to the balanced nutrient profile provided by this medium.
Conifers– Species such as pines, spruces, and firs can perform well in Lloyd & McCown’s WPM due to its suitability for woody plant tissues.
Medicinal Plants– Herbs and medicinal plants including ginseng, lavender, and mint may be successfully propagated using this nutrient-rich medium.
Rare and Endangered species– Woody plants requiring specialised care and controlled propagation conditions may benefit from the comprehensive nutrient formulation of WPM.
By delivering a carefully balanced combination of macronutrients, micronutrients, and vitamins, WPP04 WPM Basal Salts (Modification 4) helps create an optimal in vitro environment for plant tissue growth, multiplication, and regeneration. This medium is suitable for use by researchers, horticulturists, and plant biotechnologists working with a diverse range of woody plant species.
For specialised applications, consult a qualified expert to ensure appropriate use and formulation for your specific requirements.
Disclaimer:
Results may vary depending on plant species, tissue type, formulation adjustments, and experimental conditions. Users are advised to review relevant literature and consult tissue culture specialists to tailor WPP04 to their specific application.
