Meristem Tissues: Characteristics and Types (With Diagram) | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the characteristics and types of Meristem Tissue of Plants. Characteristics of Meristem Tissue: (i) Ability to grow and divide, (ii) Small imma­ture cells, (iii) Isodiametric, rounded, oval or polygonal, (iv) Absence of intercellular spaces. (v) Walls are thin, elastic and made of cellulose, (vi) Nucleus conspicuous, (vii) Cytoplasm dense, (viii) Vacuoles absent or [...]

Study Notes on Culture Media | Biotechnology

The below mentioned article provides a study note on culture media. Growth and morphogenesis of plant tissues in vitro are largely governed by the com­position of the culture media. Although the basic requirements for culturing plant tissue is same but in practice there are some specific nutritional requirements for promoting optimal growth from different kinds of explants in case of [...]

Biology Notes on Totipotency | Biotechnology

The below mentioned article provides a study note on totipotency. Cellular Totipotency: Though Haberlandt was able to culture isolated cells but failed to induce division in vitro. The culture of embryogenic tissue by Hannig (1904) and root-tip culture by Kotte and Robbins (1922) helped in solving the problems of cell divisions in in vitro conditions. During the period of 1934-1954, [...]
