Composition of Plant Culture Media | Biotechnology

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 [...]

Plant Hormone Signalling | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the three main plant hormone signalling involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants:- 1. Cytokinin Signalling 2. Auxin Signalling 3. Gibberellin Signalling. 1. Cytokinin Signalling: Cytokininis have been registered as one of the key plant hormones involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants, such as cell division, [...]

Significance of Protoplast Culture | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the significance of protoplast culture. Cell Modification by DNA Uptake: The isolated plant protoplasts are best suited for the introduction of foreign genetic ma­terial. Protoplast acts as an efficient receptor for the uptake of foreign DNA. Protoplast can be regenerated into the whole plant and this is indispensable for genetic manipulation. The ratio [...]
