role of mercuric chloride in plant tissue culture?
surface sterilisation of explants
for this application, the mercuric chloride is supported on carbon in concentrations of about 5 weight percent. this technology has been eclipsed by the thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane. other significant applications of mercuric chloride include its use as a depolarizer in batteries and as a reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry (see below).









































it is being used in plant tissue culture for surface sterilisation of explants such as leaf or stem nodes.

mercury(ii) chloride
although some growers and nurseries have their own labs for propagating plants by the technique of tissue culture, a number of independent laboratories provide custom propagation services. the plant tissue culture information exchange lists many commercial tissue culture labs. since plant tissue culture is a very labour-intensive process, this would be an important factor in determining which plants would be commercially viable to propagate in a laboratory.
