Videos are uploaded in response to requests for plant tissue culture techniques, which involve selecting a mother plant, surface sterilizing the explant, cultivating it in a nutrient medium, and transferring the plantlet to soil for further growth. The process leads to the formation of callus, which can develop into a mature plant with advantages such as micropropagation and genetic identicality to the mother plant.
Insights
- Plant tissue culture techniques encompass various methods like stem culture, seed culture, and callus culture, each crucial for the successful propagation of plants.
- Understanding the fundamental steps of plant tissue culture, from selecting a healthy mother plant to surface sterilizing the explant and cultivating it in a nutrient medium, is essential before delving into specific techniques to ensure successful outcomes.

Plant Tissue Culture Techniques: A Guide
- The videos are being uploaded due to requests for plant tissue culture techniques.
- Various types of plant tissue culture techniques include stem culture, seed culture, callus culture, meristem culture, polyculture, anther culture, and embryo culture.
- The importance of learning the basic method before delving into specific plant tissue culture techniques.
- The first step involves selecting a well-developed mother plant with a healthy shoot and root system.
- The next step is selecting an explant, a part of the mother plant like a leaf, root, flower, or meristem.
- Surface sterilization of the explant is crucial to remove bacteria using sodium hypochlorite solution and distilled water.
- The explant is then placed in a nutrient medium like MS medium containing macronutrients, micronutrients, growth hormone regulators, and organic nutrients.
- The explant absorbs cytokines from the nutrient medium, leading to cell division and the formation of callus.
- Incubation of the explant in the nutrient medium at 15-25 degrees Celsius for 3-6 weeks results in the formation of callus.
- The callus can undergo either embryogenesis, forming an embryo, or organogenesis, directly forming a plant, leading to the development of a mature plant that can be transferred to soil for cultivation.
