Sure, here are the 10 most commonly used tissue culture media and their purposes:

  1. Murashige and Skoog (MS) Medium:
    Originally developed for tobacco callus culture, MS medium is now widely used for the culture of many different plant species from angiosperms to gymnosperms.

  2. Gamborg B5 Medium:
    Developed for carrot callus culture, this medium has since been used for many other plant types.

  3. Woody Plant Medium (WPM):
    A medium used to support the culture of woody plant species, such as apple, cherry, and poplar.

  4. White’s Medium:
    Developed for tobacco callus culture, this medium is now also used for regeneration of other monocots and dicots.

  5. Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) Medium:
    Originally developed for carrot callus culture, this medium has also been used for a range of other plant types.

  6. Nitsch and Nitsch Medium:
    A versatile medium used for both callus culture and adventitious shoot regeneration in various plant species.

  7. Liquid Medium Salt (LMS) Medium:
    Commonly used for the regeneration of somatic embryos of many plant species.

  8. Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium (DKW):
    Developed specifically for the culture of Juglans nigra (black walnut) tissue culture.

  9. Orchid Medium:
    A medium specifically designed for the culture of orchid tissue culture.

  10. Cistus Medium:
    An olive and olive-related species tissue culture medium.
