Pectin

Pectin is used in plant tissue culture:

• Natural gelling agent: Used to modify media consistency, especially in experimental or custom formulations.
  • Supports cell aggregation: Helps in protoplast culture, somatic embryogenesis, and callus formation by improving matrix structure.
  • Reduces tissue stress: Creates a softer environment for sensitive explants and delicate tissues.
  • Derived from plants: A purified polysaccharide obtained mainly from citrus peels, suitable for biological and plant in-vitro applications.
  • Used in research media: Included in specialized protocols for fruit crops, medicinal plants, and developmental biology studies.
