Staba Modified Vitamin Solution (100x)

Staba Modified Vitamin Solution (100x) contains a modification of the Staba (1969) vitamins as described by Skirvin and Chu (1979). This modification differs from the original Staba formulation in that myo-Inositol was reduced from 2000 mg/L to 100 mg/L.  The original use of these vitamins appears to be for the culture of Digitalis. These vitamins have been used for the culture of Rubus (Blackberry), Prunus (Peach), Rosa (Rose), Cornus (Dogwood), Rhipsalidopsis (Easter Cactus), and Schlumbergera (Christmas Cactus).

myo-Inositol may precipitate out of the solution when cold; warming with occasional agitation will redissolve it. Use at a concentration of 10 mL/L of medium to achieve the proper final concentration.
