Hi BODHISATTWA,
It is not necessary to use agar type E from Sigma, Bacteriological agar for example will work just fine for seed gemination purposes.
However, if you intend to use plant explants for plant cell culture/ tissue culture purposes, we recommend using type E agar for better results.
Best regards,
