Hydroponics has become one of the most used technologies, increasing the yields of comercial under-glass crops such as tomato and other solanacean, strawberries, green leaves, and many other species in terms of plant physiology research.
Since the MS medium was developed in 1962 by Toshio Murashige and Folke K. Skoog in search of a new growth regulator, great progress has been achieved. Macro-nutrients, those with a higher presence in plant tissues and fluids, however, are known as the main effective regulators, especially Nitrogen, during initial growing phase of the lifecycle.
Besides the above mentioned... isolation and purification of phytohormones has a notworthy role in the spread of studies carried out in plant physiology laboratories. The appropriate use of plant growth regulators allows to disrupt natural fine-tuned process in plant signaling, leading new metabolic scenaries from which make deduction and build new models.
Nevertheless, some will go along with me on this, one of the most fascinating possibilities is the chance to develop plants in vitro, allowing them to totally or partially go their life cycle in this media. Thank these technicques it's feasible to regenerate a whole plant from single cells, even pollen grains.
