- Cytokinin is the hormone responsible for shoot development in plant tissue culture.
- Abscisic acid is the hormone that activates the ABFS-ABRE plant stress pathway in rice.
Plant Culture Media
- The basic components of plant culture media include water, inorganic salts, sugars, amino acids, and vitamins.
Types of Plant Tissue Culture
- Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a type of plant tissue culture used for DNA transformation and production of hybrid plants.
