micropropagation tissue culture

Micropropagation - It refers to artificial propagation of plants vegetatively through the culture of cell or tissue. It is most useful, when normal propagation takes long time or the success in fertilization is very poor as seen in many valuable plants useful in agricu..

Cytokinins are used in tissue culture because of their role in cell division and morphogenes..

Plant Tissue Culture - It refers to culture or growing the plant tissues. Plant tissue culture is developed as a separate branch of science - ever since the potentiality of each cell or tissue of plant to grow into a separate org..

Parthenogenesis and Tissue Culture - Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which the ovum develops into a new individual without fertilisation. Natural parthenogenesis has been observed in many lower animals (it is characteristic of the rotifers), especially insects, e.g...

Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which the ovum develops into a new individual without fertilisation. Natural parthenogenesis has been observed in many lower animals (it is characteristic of the rotifers), especially insects, e.g., the aphid. In many social insects, such as the ho..

Embryo Culture - Embryo mortality and seed failure associated with embryo development are most common reasons for failure of interspecific hybridization due to incompatability. In such instances, fertilization and zygote formation may not suffer but embryo development does not take place ..

Protoplast Culture - Protoplast is a cell without cell wall. In plants, the cells are invariably surrounded by thick cell wall made of cellulose and pectin. During the process of tissue culture and using it for crop improvement, cell wall acts as a barrier to induce mu..

This method is actually an applied aspect of the tissue culture technique. For micro propagation, a small amount of tissue from a suitable part of the parent plant is excised and grown on a nutrient medium under aseptic conditions. The tissue then develop int..

Large number of genetic replicas of rare hybrid or sterile valuable plant can be produced asexually by culturing shoottips. Since propagation is vegetative, the problems of heterogeneity, pollination, divergent inheritance, chromosomal and gene transformations are completely avoided in s..
