Abstract:
In an experiment conducted on tissue culture at our school, we noticed that the nutrient medium ie, Agar is very expensive. Also, it contains animal meat, beef, etc. So we wanted to come up with a cruelty free and cost effective nutrient medium which is suitable for plant tissue culture. We started testing different waste materials from plants that are readily available. For example, we checked nutrients present in banana peel, waste and remains of corn (butta), potato peels (raw potatoes) and compared it with Agar medium. From which we selected the best media ie, 50% corn starch and 50% potato starch media (CP media). This media was taken for further experiments on plant tissue culture. This 50-50% CP media was chosen for checking the growth of potato buds, carrot buds and bean seed embryo. Unfortunately, after a week they got contaminated and also the media was a little shaky. So under the guidance of Dr. Siddhivinayak Barve, we added a vegan gelatin to the media. The results showed were excellent. The growth in the tissue was seen.
