The following points highlight the four significances of callus culture. The significances are: 1. Source of Tissue for Plant Regeneration 2. Source of Chromosomal Variation (Somaclona) Variation) 3. Source of Secondary Metabolites 4. Source of Tissue for Cell Suspension Culture. Significance # 1. Source of Tissue for Plant Regeneration: Callus tissue is a good source of experimental tissue material from [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on suspension culture. A cell suspension culture consists of cell aggregates dispersed and growing in moving liquid media. It is normally initiated by transferring pieces of undifferentiated and friable calli to a liquid medium agitated by a suitable device (Fig. 17.3A-C). Agitation in the medium helps in two ways, it exerts a [...]
