Development of the Biotech is undoubtedly one
of the most significant contribution of modern
biologist.Tissue culture had developed quite
naturally from some of techniques of
embroyology.
 It is a proess whereby small piece of living tissues
called as explants are isolated from an organism
and grown aseptically for indefinite period of
time on a defined nutrient medium.
The definition of biotechnology includes the
development of methods by which biological process
may be controlled such that their rate of production
enables economic industrial production.
 Totipotency-Ability of plant material to grow and
divide invitro is called totipotency.
 Cell totipotency is the potentiality of cell to
regenerate the whole organism from a single
cell.It was first discovered by Hyberlant in 1902.
First step towards the technique for the
cultivation of tissues outside the body of an
organism was a realization of internal
environment.

 Useful facilities
 ESSENTIAL FACILITIES are the bare minimum
requirement without which the job cannot be
performed.
ESSENTIAL FACILITIES
 Incubator-air circulation temp
 AUTOCLAVE
 Refrigrater
 Microscope
 Washing up equipments
 Oven for dry sterilization
 Water purification
 Centrifuge
 Shelves
 Culture room and cabinate
 Laminar air flow cabinate
Beneficial equipments-equipments
which can make laboratory easier to use and more
efficient
 Laminar flow hood
 Cell counter
 Vaccum pump
 CO2 incubator
 Osmometer
 Densitometer
 Microscope roller raks
 Magnetic stirrer
 Phase contrast fluroscent microsc.
 Separate sterilization oven
Useful facilities
 Freezer-70 0
 Colony counter

Plant Tissue Culture
 Historical view of the advances in plant
tissue culture revels a closer
relationship with the progress in
research and new information on the
nutritional requirement of cultural
cells.
 Although the general nutriyional
requirement of PTC have been well
established even today there are still a
 Considreable number of problems to be
evacuated
Composition of culture
 A perfect balance of nutritional and
hormonal requirement.
 Cell culture,cell suspension
culture,somatic embryo or protoplast
culture.
 A large number of different culture
media are described.
 But of these only few like MS,SH B5 have
found wide spread usage for a range of
plant species.
Composition of culture media
 The components of nearly all plant culture
media can be divided in to six groups
 Major inorganic
nutrients(macronutrients,Macroelements)
 Trace elements(microelements)
 Iron source
 Vitamins
 Carbon source
 Plant growth Regulators
Major inorganic elements
 Nitrogen-N-enhance somatic embryogenesis
 Phosphrous-P-essential element of nucilc acid
 DNA RNA
 Potassium-K-catalytic process of cell
 Calcium-Ca-organisation of cell wall
 Magnesium-Mg-constituent of chlorophyll
 Sulphur-S-catalytic process of cell
Trace elements
 Required in small quantities.
 BO-boron
 Mn-Magnese
 Zn-Zinc
 Cu-Copper
 Cl-Chlorine
 Mo-Molybdenum
 Ni-Nickel
 Al-Aluminium
 Co-cobalt
 I-Iodine
 Fe-Ferrous
 Na-Sodium
In general plant thrives on 17 elements ,4
(C,H,O,N) from atmosph. And rest 13 from
soil.(K,Ca,Mg,P,S,Fe,Cu,Mn,Mo,Zn,B,Co,Ni)
 Iron source
 Vitamins
 Carbon source
 Sucrose
 PGRS
Media Formulation
 Most common media formulation is MS
medium formulated for culture of
Tobacco explants.
 Gamberg,s B5 medium made for
soyabean callus culture high nitrates.
 Hiberlants 1972 SH medium for
monocotyledons and Dicotyledons
culture.

Preparation of stock solution
 Most efficient way of preparing PTC media
is first to prepare stock solution of mineral
salt and vitamins which are ranging from
10-1000 times the final conc. Stock solution
can be prepared as two solutions contain
all micronutrients.
 Salts stock solutions keep dilutions 100x.

Prepared Mixtures
 Many companies produce ready to use salts
and vitamin mixture which can be easily
handled by adding proper amount of powder
to water.
Vitamin PGRS and others
 Most organic addenda added to medium
in relatively low conc.As it is very
difficult to weigh out less than 10mg
accurately it is adventagenous to prepare
stock solution.
Water
 Water in media is type-Iiwater as it contains very
little solids and is produced through distillation
ion exchange reverse osmosis.Tap water should
not be used.
 AGAR
 For semisolid agar medis
 Agar conc 6-10g/lit prior to autoclaving.
 PH of most nutrient media should be 5.5-6.0.
Sterilization of media.
 Autoclave sterlization
 121 degree celcius for 15 min 1.05 Kg/cm2
 Filter sterlization 0.22 mm membrane made of
nitrocellulose.
 PREPRATION OF EXPLANTS-
 For initation of cultures.
Measurement of growth parameters
 Growth of any tissue callus or cell suspension culture can be
monitered by increase in fresh or dry weight or increase in
cell number.
 1)Fresh or dry weight measurement.(preweighed nylon
fabric,preweighed centrifuge tube)
 2)Increase in cell number or cell count.(Haemocytometer)
 3)Packed cell volume% of volume of pallet to entire cult
volume
 4)Cell viability-Microscopic exam.cytoplasmic streaming.
 5)Protein & DNA content.
 6)Mitotic index.
 7)Plating of cell suspension.
Types of culture
 Root tip culture
 Leaves or leaf primordia culture
 Shoot tip culture
 Complete flower culture
 Anther and pollen culture
 Ovule and embryo culture
 Protoplast culture
 Hairy root culture
 Callus culture
 Suspension culture
Applications of Plant tissue culture
 Production of phytopharmaceuticals
 Biochemical conversion
 Colonal propagation
 Production of immobilized plant cells.
