2. Organogenesis
• Definition
“The ability of non-meristematic plant tissues to
form various organs de-novo is termed as
organogenesis.”
OR
“From cell of tissue culture various organs such
as roots, stem, leaves or flower may be initiated.
This is called organogenesis.”
• The formation of adventitious organs.
• The production of shoot, root and leaves.
10. Role of PGR’s in Organogenesis
Primary Morphogens (Agents forming
structure).
When cells treated with these chemicals
they develop changes.
Adopt specific developmental pathway.
PO4 and tyrosine induce bud formation.
Polyamine, Zeatin induce shoot bud
initiation.
11. Hormones in Organogenesis
Phytohormones
• Influence In-vitro organogenesis process.
• Skoog and Miller in 1957 said that:
“Relation concentration ratio of auxin and gibberlin
decide specific organ formation.”
• Help to regenerate dicot plants.
• High 2,4 D concentration in monocot cause
changes in development of cultured tissue.
• ABA & GA’s has role also.
• Ethylene retard organ initiation during early
stages of culture but in later help shoot initiation.

13. Factor affecting the organogenesis
• Size of ex-plant
• Source of ex-plant
• Age of ex-plant
• Seasonal variation
• Oxygen (O2 )
gradient
• Quality &
Intensity of light
• Temperature
• Culture medium
• pH of the medium
• Age of culture
