PLANT TISSUE CULTURE REAGENT

Benzylaminopurine (6-BAP)

Plant growth regulator used in plant tissue culture to influence cell division, shoot proliferation, seed germination, and in vitro plant development.

CAT#: 0644-CN-B001-10G Size: 10 g

Product Overview

Benzylaminopurine (BAP), also known as Benzyl Adenine, BAP, or BA, is a plant growth regulator commonly used in plant tissue culture applications. It is used to support cell division and shoot proliferation during in vitro plant development.

BAP powder can be incorporated into tissue culture media such as MS, Gamborg's, DKW, and Chu's N6 media according to the requirements of the plant species and experimental protocol. The product is supplied as a white to pale yellow powder and passes for tissue culture suitability.
