Plant tissue culture (also known as micropropagation) is a method of propagating plants asexually in aseptic conditions. The four main steps of micropropagation are establishment, multiplication, ...

Plant tissue culture involves cultivating plant cells, tissues, and organs in a nutrient-rich medium using controlled, aseptic techniques. 1 Since its inception in the early 20th century, plant tissue ...

The last decade has witnessed successful applications of plant tissue culture techniques in several crops. During that same period, studies in plant molecular genetics have also grown exponentially.

Plant tissue culture has emerged as a vital tool for the controlled production of secondary metabolites – bioactive compounds that are of paramount importance in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and ...

Graduate student Arjun Ojha Kshetry and colleagues combined two key genes: WIND1, which reprograms cells near a wound, and ...

Hyperhydricity is a prevalent physiological disorder encountered during in vitro plant propagation. It is characterised by excessive water accumulation, resulting in translucent tissues, altered ...

A wide range of microorganisms (filamentous fungi, yeasts, bacteria, viruses and viroids) and micro-arthropods (mites and thrips) have been identified as contaminants in plant tissue cultures.
