This document discusses using plant tissue culture techniques and mutation induction in plant breeding. It provides a quick review of plant tissue culture, which involves growing plant parts like cells or tissues in controlled, sterile conditions on synthetic media. Mutation induction can be applied to in vitro plant cultures to generate genetic variation. The history of plant tissue culture is reviewed, from early experiments in the 19th century to developments in the late 20th century like haploid production and plant regeneration from protoplasts. Facilities for plant tissue culture generally include areas for washing, media preparation and sterilization, and aseptic transfer of cultures.
