PLANT TISSUE CULTURE
Part I:
Definitions:
• “Tissue culture”  widely for in vitro culture of cells, tissues as well
as organs
• Plant Tissue Culture is a technique of growing plant cells, organs,
seeds or other plant parts in a sterile environment on nutrient
medium.
Basics of Plant tissue culture
• In vitro cultivation primarily to solve two basic problems:
1. To keep plants and organs free from microbes
2. To ensure desirable development in cells and organs by providing
suitable nutrient media & other env. conditions.
Area of active research
What conditions do plant cells
need to multiply in vitro?
Tissue culture has several critical requirements:
 Appropriate tissue
 A suitable growth medium
 Aseptic (sterile) conditions
 Growth regulators
 Frequent sub-culturing
Appropriate tissue (Explant)
• Explants: Cell, tissue or organ of a plant that is used to start in vitro
cultures.
• Most commonly: axillary buds and meristems
• The explants must be sterilized to remove microbial contaminants
Chemical Conc. Duration (min)
Bromine water 1-2 % 5-10
Calcium hypochlorite About 10% 5-30
Hydrogen peroxide 10-12 % 10-15
Mercuric chloride 0.1-1.0 % 5-15
Sodium hypochlorite 2 % 5-30
Antibiotics 4-50 mg/L 30-60
Growth medium
• A nutrient medium is defined by its mineral salt composition, carbon
source, vitamins, plant growth regulators and other organic
supplements.
Composition:
 Inorganic nutrients
 Vitamins
 Carbon source
 Growth Regulators
 Complex organic additives
Yeast Extract
Coconut Milk
Casein hydrolysate
Malt Extract
• Inositol
•Thiamine
•Pyridoxine
•Nicotinic Acid
Vitamins Carbon Source
•Sucrose
•Glucose
•Maltose
•Galactose
• Mannose
•Starch
Organic Additives
Sterile conditions
• All materials: vessels, instruments, medium, plant material. etc must
be free from microbes
• Following approaches:
 Flame sterilization
 Autoclaving
 Filter Sterilization
 Wiping with 70 % ethanol
 Surface sterilization
Growth regulators

tissue culture method
Advantages of tissue culture OVER
intact plants
1. Can grow plant cells in liquid culture on a large scale—Bioreactor
2. Dihaploid plants production from haploid cultures shortens the time
taken to achieve uniform homozygous lines
3. The crossing of distantly related species by protoplast isolation and
somatic fusion help in transfer and expression of novel genes
4. Cell selection increases the potential number of individuals in a
screening program
5. Micropropagation allows the production of large numbers of uniform
individuals of species from limited starting material
6. Genetic transformation of cells enables very specific information to be
introduced into single cells which can then be regenerated
REGENERATION OF TISSUE CULTURE
Part II:
Plant regeneration
• The process of growing an entire
plant from a single cell or group of
cells
• Possible because plant cells can be
made totipotent using hormones
• Differentiated tissue: stem, leaves,
roots etc.
• Undifferentiated cells are
totipotent: can become whole plant
by differentiating into whole plant
Pathways for plant
regeneration
Plant Regeneration System
Plant regeneration
Organogenesis--Shoots or roots are
induced to differentiate from a cell or cell
clusters (Shoot regeneration will be
discussed)
Somatic embryogenesis--New plants are
formed from somatic embryos. Somatic
embryos are formed in plant tissue culture
from plant cells that are not normally
involved in the development of embryos, i.e.
ordinary plant tissue
Shoot Regeneration
• First report by :White in 1939 in tobacco tissue culture
• Shoot buds usually arise from group of meristematic cells called
meristemoids/nodules
• Meristemoids leaf primordia and apical meristem
• Arise in areas that accumulate starch
• GA3 inhibit shoot regeneration by interfering with starch
accumulation
Shoot induction
Shoot differentiation
and development
Events during shoot regeneration
Morphogenic competence

Developmental
determination phase
Commitment
is
irreversible
Factors affecting shoot bud
regeneration
 Growth regulators
 Explant genotype
 Physiological state of
explant
 Physical factors
 Electrical Stimulation
Somatic Embryogenesis
• Somatic embryo is an embryo derived from a somatic cell,
other than zygote.
• Somatic embryogenesis is defined as the process of
development of a bipolar structure like zygotic embryo from
a non-zygotic somatic cell
• Doesn’t have vascular connections
• Reported in 1968 independently by Steward and Reinert in
carrot
Developmental pattern of SEs
Direct SE regeneration is most likely to occur from ovules, zygotic embryos and young seedlings

PLANT MULTIPLICATION:
MICROPROPAGATION
Part III:
Introduction
• Micropropagation is the process of rapidly multiplying stock plant
material to produce large number of progeny plants using plant tissue
culture methods
• Achieved by following processes:
 Proliferation of axillary buds
 Induction of adventitious buds
 Organogenesis
 Somatic Embryogenesis
• For axillary bud proliferation: Pre-existing meristem cultured
• SAM is the portion lying distal to youngest leaf primordium (100 μm
dia and 250 μm in length)
• Shoot tip apical meristem + 1-3 young leaf primordia (=500 μm)
• If objective is rapid propagation size is not important
• If objective is virus free minimum surrounding tissue
Meristem culture
Meristem culture
• Shoot tips of 0.5 mm or longer grow into shoots on GR-free media
(low levels of auxin/or cytokinin is preferred)
• Without leaf primordia culture auxin is essential in most cases
and cytokinin in some cases (as meristematic dome doesn’t produce
its own auxin and cytokinins)
2,4-D

GA3 is
often used
Leaf primordia

• Selection and preparation of mother
plants
1 • Culture initiation
2 • Multiplication
3 • Rooting of shoots
4 • Transfer to soil
Stages of Micropropagation
• Identification and preparation of mother plants more responsive
explants
• Stock plants under controlled conditions (glass house)good
• Overhead irrigation should be avoided
• Reduce level of contamination
• To increase responsiveness light, temp, GR
• “Rejuvenation” in tree species
0-Preparation of mother plants
• Surface sterilization of explants and establishing them in vitro
• Main feature detection and elimination/control of contamination
• GR-free medium used
• In case of contamination antibiotic or fungicide may be added
• Most commonly used explants are organs, shoot tips, nodal segments.
1-Culture initiation
• Most crucial stage as it determines the rate at which plantlets are
formed
• Multiplication by:
 Enhanced proliferation of axillary shoot buds
 Induction of adventitious buds, bulbs, etc.
 Somatic embryogenesis (SE)
• Defined culture medium
2-Multiplication
• GR-free/ auxin stimulation
• On agar medium in vitro rooting
• Directly on potting mix after treating ends with auxin solution ex
vitro/ in vivo rooting
3-Rooting of shoots
Rooting and soil
transfer stages are
combined
Structurally and functionally

Notas del editor

  1. Area of active research: relies mainly on the manipulation of culture medium especially GR and to much lesser extent on other factors
  2. Tissue culture has several critical requirements: Appropriate tissue A suitable growth medium containing energy sources and inorganic salts to supply cell growth needs. This can be liquid or semisolid. Aseptic (sterile) conditions, as microorganisms grow much more quickly than plant and animal tissue and can overrun a culture. Growth regulators - in plants, both auxins & cytokinins. Frequent subculturing to ensure adequate nutrition and to avoid the build-up of waste metabolites
  3. This is usually done by chemical surface sterilization with an agent for a duration that will kill pathogens w/o injuring the plant cells
  4. When an explant is isolated, it is no longer able to receive nutrients or hormones from the plant, and these must be provided to allow growth in vitro. The composition of the nutrient medium is for the most part similar, although the exact components and quantities will vary for different species and purpose of culture. Types and amounts of hormones vary greatly. In addition, the culture must be provided with the ability to excrete the waste products of cell metabolism. This is accomplished by culturing on or in a defined culture medium which is periodically replenished.

N in the form of amino acids (glutamine, asparagine) and nucleotides (adenine) - Organic acids: TCA cycle acids (citrate, malate, succinate, fumarate), pyruvate - Complex substances: yeast extract, malt extract, coconut milk, protein hydrolysate - Activated charcoal is used where phenol-like compounds are a problem, absorbing toxic pigments and stabilizing pH. Also, to prevent oxidation of phenols PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), citric acid, ascorbic acid, thiourea and L-cysteine are used.
  6. protoderm. a thin outer layer of the meristem in embryos and growing points of roots and stems, which gives rise to the epidermis.
  7. Shoot apical meristems produce one or more axillary or lateral buds at each node. When stems produce considerable secondary growth, the axillary buds may be destroyed. Adventitious buds may then develop on stems with secondary growth.
