Gradually moving the "test-tube plants" to soil and natural humidity to prepare them for the outside world. 4. Components of the Culture Medium
Removing the cell wall to allow for somatic hybridization—fusing two different species that cannot cross-pollinate naturally. 3. The 5 Stages of Micropropagation
A successful tissue culture requires a precise chemical "cocktail." Most labs use the . Key components include: Macronutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium. Micronutrients: Iron, Manganese, Zinc. plant tissue culture ppt pdf
The growth of an undifferentiated mass of cells. It is often the first step in generating genetic variation (somaclonal variation).
Transferring shoots to a medium rich in Auxins to develop a root system. Gradually moving the "test-tube plants" to soil and
The balance between Auxins (roots) and Cytokinins (shoots) dictates the plant’s development.
Aseptic technique, Laminar Airflow, Autoclave, MS Medium, Organogenesis, and Somatic Embryogenesis. Micronutrients: Iron, Manganese, Zinc
Focusing on specific parts like roots, endosperm, or embryos.
When structuring your presentation or study guide, it is helpful to categorize the methods by their starting material (explants):
