General description

Type M agar is predominantly used in plant tissue culture. It is similar to agar, a polysaccharide complex with a backbone of alternating agarose and agaropectin molecules and extracted from red algae.

Application

Type M agar has been used as a component of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for culturing Arabidopsis thalania seeds. It has also been used in rooting media for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seeds.
