Boric acid

Boric acid is a micronutrient used in plant tissue culture to promote cell growth, root formation, and overall plant health. It’s also used in cell culture for mammalian cells and microorganism culture.

How boric acid is used in plant tissue culture

• Maintains pH

Boric acid acts as a pH buffer to maintain the optimal pH level for cell growth.

• Prevents contamination

Boric acid has mild antimicrobial properties that help prevent bacterial and fungal contamination.

• Stabilizes nucleic acids

Boric acid stabilizes nucleic acids, which are important for cellular functions and growth.

• Promotes cell division

Boric acid is essential for cell division, which is the process of creating new plant cells.

• Helps with pollination

Boric acid is essential for reproductive growth, which helps with pollination and fruit and seed development.
