Plant Cell and Tissue Culture Principles and Applications.

Novel Applications of Plant Tissue Culture

INTRODUCTION In 1902 Gottleib Haberlandt proposed the idea of growing individual plant cells on artificial medium. While Haberlandt never realized his idea, the 105 years since has seen the concept evolve into a powerful tool utilized throughout the plant sciences. Plant tissue culture broadly refers to growing plant cells, tissues, organs, seeds, or other plant parts in a sterile environment o...

Small interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--

Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...

The Principles and Recent Applications of Bioelectrocatalysis

Bioelectrocatalysis is a phenomenon concerned with biological catalysts, which accelerate the electrochemical reactions. Bioelectrocatalysis has been widely explored by the research community in various directions. Enzymes can catalyze different chemical reactions in living organisms by enzymes as the most important biological catalysts. These enzymatic biocatalysts are commercially available a...

Plant Tissue Culture: Current Status and Opportunities

Tissue culture is the in vitro aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs or whole plant under controlled nutritional and environmental conditions [1] often to produce the clones of plants. The resultant clones are true-to type of the selected genotype. The controlled conditions provide the culture an environment conducive for their growth and multiplication. These conditions include proper supp...
