Abstract:
Maximum growth of suspension cultures of Paul's Scarlet rose has been demonstrated in a minimal organic medium possessing only 4 organic compounds: napthaleneacetic acid, kinetin, myo-inositol, and sucrose. Myo-inositol was not essential for growth, but sustained growth was reduced by 90% when it was omitted. Maximum growth required nitrate plus a supplemental amount of either NH 4 (+) or glutamine.
