Introduction to Tissue Culture
Tissue Culture (also known as Micropropagation or In vitro culture) is:
The growing of plant cells, tissues, organs, seeds or other plant parts in a sterile environment on a nutrient medium.

Nutrient medium and the role of growth hormones?
The nutrient medium commonly contains Macronutrient, micronutrient, vitamins, Ferron
& carban sourceThe optimum culture medium may vary with
the species, the genotype within the species, and the origin and age of the cultured tissue.
The preferred physical state of the culture medium, whether a liquid medium or a solid agar gel, may vary with the species and the culture environment.
pH- 5.8
Hormones in the agar
Two Hormones Affect Plant Differentiation: Auxin: Stimulates Root Development Cytokinin: Stimulates Shoot Development
Generally, the ratio of these two hormones can determine plant development: Auxin ↓Cytokinin = Root Development Cytokinin ↓Auxin = Shoot Development Auxin = Cytokinin = Callus Development
Basic Procedure of Tissue Culture
Types of In Vitro Culture
Culture of intact plants (seed and seedling culture) Embryo culture (immature embryo culture) Organ culture
Callus culture Cell suspension culture Protoplast culture Somatic Embryogenesis Micropropagation Somaclonal variation
Micropropagation
Embryogenesis Direct embryogenesis Indirect embryogenesis
Organogenesis Organogenesis via callus formation Direct adventitious organ formation
Microcutting Meristem and shoot tip culture Bud culture
Steps of Micropropagation
Stage 0 – Selection & preparation of the mother plant sterilization of the plant tissue takes place
Stage I - Initiation of culture explant placed into growth media
Stage II - Multiplication explant transferred to shoot media; shoots can be constantly divided
Stage III - Rooting explant transferred to root media
Stage IV - Transfer to soil explant returned to soil; hardened off
Features of Micropropagation
Clonal reproduction. Way of maintaining heterozygosity.
Multiplication Stage can be recycled many times to produce an unlimited number of clones. Routinely used commercially for many ornamental
species, some vegetatively propagated crops.Easy to manipulate production cycles
Not limited by field seasons/environmental influences.Disease-free plants can be produced
Has been used to eliminate viruses from donor plants.
Types of Plant Tissue Culture
What is Callus development
A callus is a blob of tissue – (mostly undifferentiated cells)
A callus is naturally developed on a plant as a result of a wound
This callus can be left to develop or can be further divided
Callus Culture
Equimolar amounts of auxin and cytokinin stimulate cell division. Leads to a mass proliferation of an unorganised mass of cells called a callus.
Requirement for support ensures that scale-up is limited.
Callus Suspension CultureWhen callus pieces are agitated in a liquid
medium, they tend to break up.Suspensions are much easier to bulk up than
callus since there is no manual transfer or solid support.
Protoplast Isolation
Created by degrading the cell wall using enzymes.
Very fragile, can’t pipette.The membranes are made to fuse.
osmotic shock, electrical current, virus Regenerate the hybrid fusion product.Contain genome from both organisms.Very, very difficult .
Use of enzymes results in a high yield of uniform protoplasts after removal of cellular debris Protoplasts can originate from different sources: greenhouse or field material, micropropagated plants, calli,
Protoplast Fusion Techniques
Protoplast fuse spontaneously during isolation process mainly due to physical contact.
Induced Fusion.Chemofusion- fusion induced by chemicals.Types of fusogens
PEG NaNo3 Ca 2+ ions Polyvinyl alcohal
Mechanical Fusion- Physical fusion of protoplasts under microscope by using micromanipulator and perfusion micropipette.
Somatic & Cybridization
Somatic & Cybridization
Uses for Protoplast Fusion
Combine two complete genomes Another way to create allopolyploids
Partial genome transfer Exchange single or few traits between species May or may not require ionizing radiation
Genetic engineering Micro-injection, electroporation, Agrobacterium
Transfer of organelles Unique to protoplast fusion The transfer of mitochondria and/or chloroplasts
between species
Somaclonal Variation
Variation found in somatic cells dividing mitotically in culture A general phenomenon of all plant regeneration systems that
involve a callus phase
Some mechanisms: Karyotipic alteration Sequence variation
Variation in DNA Methylation
Two general types of Somaclonal Variation: Heritable, genetic changes (alter the DNA) Stable, but non-heritable changes (alter gene expression,
epigenetic)
Somaclonal Breeding Procedures
Use plant cultures as starting material Idea is to target single cells in multi-cellular culture. Usually suspension culture, but callus culture can
work (want as much contact with selective agent as possible).
Optional: apply physical or chemical mutagen.Apply selection pressure to culture.
Target: very high kill rate, you want very few cells to survive, so long as selection is effective.
Regenerate whole plants from surviving cells.
Advantages of somatic hybridization
Production of novel interspecific and intergenic hybrid Pomato (Hybrid of potato and tomato).
Transfer gene for disease resistance, abiotic stress resistance, herbicide resistance and many other quality characters.
Production of heterozygous lines in the single species which cannot be propagated by vegetative means.
Production of unique hybrids of nucleus and cytoplasm.
Plant germplasm preservation
In situ : Conservation in ‘normal’ habitat rain forests, gardens, farms
Ex Situ : Field collection, Botanical gardens Seed collections In vitro collection: Extension of micropropagation
techniques Normal growth (short term storage) Slow growth (medium term storage) Cryopreservation (long term storage
DNA Banks
Cryopreservation
Storage of living tissues at ultra-low temperatures (-196°C)
Conservation of plant germplasm Vegetatively propagated species (root and tubers,
ornamental, fruit trees). Conservation of tissue with specific characteristics
Medicinal and alcohol producing cell lines Genetically transformed tissues. Transformation/Mutagenesis competent tissues (ECSs).
Conservation of plant pathogens (fungi, nematodes)
Applications:
Study of Biochemical & Physiological activities.The effect of various hormones.Production of Secondary Metabolites.To preserve the plant species which are on
red-line.Improve crop yield with regard to molecular
breeding & Genetic Engineering.To make transgenic & cis-genic plants.
Commercial Applications of Clonal Propagation
Clonal propagation has the potential for propagation of thousands of plantlets from a single genetic stock.
Examples: orchids, potato, asparagus, strawberry, and various flowers or herbaceous ornamentals that set seed
poorly. This may not be suitable for seeding field crops.
Problems in Tissue Culture
Application of protoplast technology requires efficient plant regeneration system.
The lack of an efficient selection method for fused product is sometimes a major problem.
The end-product after somatic hybridization is often unbalanced.
Regeneration products after somatic hybridization are often variable.
It is never certain that a particular characteristic will be expressed.
Genetic stability.Sexual reproduction of somatic hybrids.
Conclusion
PTC is the technique by which plant cells can be grown in vitro sexually & asexually. By the help of this we can study biochemical, physiological and hormones activity.
High yield, good quality of crops can be obtained.
PTC , G.E. and Molecular breeding these techniques are used to transfer the gene of same species or from different species.
