What is the culture of plant tissue?

Plant tissue culture is an activity that includes the cultivation of isolated parts of plants in fixed sterile conditions. This technique is often used in biotechnology and maternal context and can be adapted to lead to ripe, clonal plants or various specialized organs and tissues. When a kindergarten uses plant tissue culture to create many ripe plants from one source, it is usually called micropropagation. Other use of this technique include the study of specific plant tissues, creating hybrids through protoplastic fusion and growing individual cells for valuable compounds they contain. The final results of plant tissue culture are usually dictated on the basis of a growing medium that is used and any vitamins, hormones or other compounds that are added. It is often possible to grow new cells or even a whole plant from components, such as leaves and stems or even individual cells and protoplasts. Tissue grewIn is removed and then exposed to a growing environment that differs from one situation to another. Individual cells can be grown in cultural meals filled with agars or in a liquid solution rich in nutrients inside the bioreactor, while cuttings are usually grown in materials such as rock wool, vermiculite and water.

Plant tissue culture is useful in many different contexts and kindergartens often use this technique to grow a large number of identical plants for sale or other purposes. The same technique is also used in forestry to grow new seedlings under fixed environmental conditions. It may also be useful to grow individual cells in culture for testing resistance to herbicides and other compounds. This can save time and money compared to growing whole plants and then test them. Technique is also useful for maintaining endangered plant species or spreading hybridsthat are otherwise sterile.

There are also various pharmaceutical and biotechnological uses for plant tissue culture. Some plant cells may contain valuable compounds such as recombinant proteins that can be harvested by plant tissue culture. In this case, the individual cells can be grown in the bioreactor and then treated to remove valuable components. It is also possible to grow specific plant cells such as kalus, using specific growing media and additive hormones. In some cases, these specific cells are grown for further study.
