Grafting & PropagationWhat is the purpose of an uninoculated medium control in mango tissue culture?
A vessel containing prepared medium but no plant tissue helps reveal contamination introduced during medium preparation or handling. Keep it under the same relevant culture conditions as the inoculated vessels. If it becomes contaminated, investigating only the mango explants misses a possible source. A clean control narrows the investigation but does not prove that every explant or manipulation was clean.
