Plant Tissue Culture Lab
Plant Tissue Culture Lab provides the facility of growing large number of isolated cells or tissues under sterile and controlled conditions obtained from any part of the plant like stem, root, leaf etc. which are encouraged to produce more cells in culture and to express their totipotency (i.e., their genetic ability to produce more plants). Cells or tissues are grown in different types of glass vials containing a medium with mineral nutrients, vitamins and phytohormones. Tissue Culture techniques are being exploited in this laboratory to multiply plants which are difficult to propagate by conventional means.
