plant tissue culture & genetics

Plant cells can be grown in isolation from intact plants in tissue culture systems. The cells have the characteristics of callus cells, rather than other plant cell types. These are the cells that appear on cut surfaces when a plant is wounded and which gradually cover and seal the damaged area .Tissue culture cells generally lack the distinctive features of most plant cells. Plant tissue cultures can be initiated from almost any part of a plant. The physiological state of the plant does have an influence on its response to attempts to initiate tissue culture. The source, termed explant, may be dictated by the reason for carrying out the tissue culture. Some of societies associated with Plant Tissue Culture includes, Different types of plants garden plants, evergreen plants, house plants, shade plants.
