Tissue Culture of Tropical Crop Plants


Mr. A

In plant cell culture, plant tissues and organs are grown in vitro on artificial media, under aseptic and controlled environment. The technique depends mainly on the concept of totipotentiality of plant cells [9] which refers to the ability of a single cell to express the full genome by cell division.

Plant tissue culture is an important agricultural biotechnological tool that contributes in the production of crops with improved food, fiber, fuel, and feed. ... In addition, plant tissue culture enables some rare and nearly extinct plant species to be rescued and propagated.
