This article throws light upon the seven important things you must know about plant tissue culture. The seven things to know about are: (1) Plasticity and Totipotency (2) The Culture Environment (3) Plant Cell Culture Media (4) Plant Growth Regulators in Plant Tissue Culture (5) Culture Types (6) Plant Regeneration and (7) Integration of Plant Tissue Culture into Plant Transformation [...]
Read this article to learn about the antitumour agents produced in plant tissue culture. Plants have been used in the treatment of cancer for over 3500 years. But it is only since 1959 that a concentrated systematic effort has been made to screen crude plant extract for their inhibitory activity against tumour systems. Under the programme sponsored by National Cancer [...]
Read this article to learn about the prospects of drug production in plant tissue culture. Plant cell cultures have great potential for the production of secondary metabolites. In recent years, considerable success has been achieved in increasing the secondary metabolites using cell suspension cultures in several plant species. Plant cells grown in culture have potential to produce and accumulate chemicals [...]
