The liquid that goes into the culture vessel is called the media. Depending on what you are culturing you use different media and different strengths of that media. Consistent parts to the media are the gelling agent usually agar but there are others. Nutrients like those you find in most over the counter plant fertilizers. Hormones that tell the cutting or "ex-plant" what you wish it to do. Hormones that are call cytokinines are great for adventitious growth and auxins are great for root formation. Thats a really very simple explanation but if you want the whole scoop read the book Plants from Test Tubes: An Introduction to Micropropagation www.amazon.com/Plants-Test-Tubes-Introduction-Micropropagation/dp/0881923613/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280515911&sr=8-1cheers!
