A REVIEW ON PLANT TISSUE CULTURE
Abstract
Plant tissue culture has evolved into a pivotal technology,
offering precise control over plant cell development and
regeneration. This abstract provides a concise overview of the
recent progress in plant tissue culture techniques and their
transformative impact on crop improvement. Fundamental to
this technology is the establishment of aseptic cultures,
creating a controlled environment for the propagation and
manipulation of plant cells. The interplay of plant growth
regulators, orchestrating cellular processes, forms a
cornerstone for successful tissue culture protocols.
This review explores the multifaceted applications of plant
tissue culture, ranging from mass propagation and micro
propagation to the preservation of endangered species. The
integration of genetic engineering techniques augments the
potential for targeted trait enhancement, addressing challenges
in resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses.
The ethical dimensions of genetic manipulation in plant tissue
culture are also considered.
The synergy between tissue culture and cutting-edge
technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and omics approaches,
propels the field forward. Insights into molecular mechanisms
governing tissue culture responses are paving the way for
sustainable agriculture and resilient crop varieties. As we
navigate these advancements, challenges and future prospects
are discussed, outlining the trajectory of plant tissue culture as
a cornerstone in modern agricultural innovation.
