Biotechnology Of Plant Tissues

Description

Plant tissue culture is a technique to isolate parts of plants such as a protoplasm, cells, tissues, and organs; and grow them on artificial media in aseptic conditions in a controlled space. This is done so that parts of these plants can grow and develop into complete plants. Plant tissue culture techniques are essential to many types of academic inquiry and to many applied aspects of plant science. Plant researchers can find products and kits for plant biotechnology research such as plant DNA extraction and amplification, chloroplast isolation, plant protein extraction and isolation. The protocols section of this book provides information regarding growth media preparation, general media formulation and sterilization techniques. Tissue-cultured plants that have been genetically engineered also provide insight into plant molecular biology and gene regulation. Moreover, plant tissue culture techniques are integral to innovative areas of applied plant science, plant biotechnology and agriculture. This book is very useful to the researchers and students in the field of genetics and plant breeding using biotechnological tools.
