The following points highlight the nine main factors affecting in vitro androgenesis. The factors are: 1. Age and Physiology 2. Stages of Pollen 3. Thermal Stress 4. Genotype 5. Chemical Treatment 6. Medium Factor 7. Anther Wall Factor 8. Microspore Density 9. Cultural Conditions. Factor # 1. Age and Physiology: The physiological conditions of the donor plant have a considerable [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Single Transduction Pathways in Plants 2. Mechanism of Signal Transduction 3. Calcium Signalling in Plants 4.Other Plant Signalling Molecules Single Transduction Pathways in Plants: Plant cells, due to their sessile nature, are able to interact with its surrounding environment. Plants use various environmental signals to alter their mode of developmental morphology. Throughout [...]
Plant culture media contains: 1. Macronutrients 2. Micronutrients 3. Adjuvant 4. Carbon Source. 1. Macronutrients: Macronutrients or macroelements are basically inorganic salts. There are six major elements indispensable for growth of plants—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are obtained from the environment. In culture media concentration of these elements are well balanced depending on the [...]
