Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is a technique for growing plant cells, tissues or organs on a nutrient medium under sterile, controlled conditions. It is used in plant propagation, conservation and agricultural research.

Plant Propagation

Micropropagation uses tissue culture techniques to multiply plants from small pieces of plant material. The process involves establishing cultures, multiplying shoots, developing roots and acclimatizing plantlets before transfer to a growing environment.

Key Areas of Study

• Sterile techniques and preparation of culture media.
• Selection and establishment of plant material.
• Shoot multiplication and root development.
• Hardening and acclimatization of plantlets.
