PLANT TISSUE CULTURE
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as Micropropagation.
Tissue culture of plants refers to the growing and multiplication of plant cells tissues and organs on defined solid or liquid media for the production of high-quality uniform and disease-free plants. Moreover, tissue culture techniques are used for medium-term and long-term preservations including cryopreservation.
Objectives
- Micropropagation of rare and endangered species.
- Micropropagation of vegetative propagated species.
- Micropropagation of recalcitrant seed-producing species.
- in vitro medium-term preservation.
- Long-term preservation (cryopreservation).
