In this article we will discuss about single cell culture in plants, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. The single cells can be isolated from a variety of tissue and organ of intact plant or from callus tissue or from cell suspension. Single cells can be isolated from intact plant tissue or callus tissue by using either mechanical method [...]
In this article we will discuss about the meaning and methods of artificial seed. Meaning of Artificial Seed: Somatic embryos are not enclosed by seed coats and due to microbial contamination and desiccation they are not able to survive if these are sown directly into field soil. The aim of somatic embryos encapsulation is to produce an analog to true [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryogenesis is the process in which a single cell or a small group of cells follow a developmental pathway that leads to reproducible regeneration of non-zygotic embryos which are capable of producing a complete plant. These non-zygotic embryos may originate directly from other organs or parthenogenetic embryos (without [...]
