Study Notes
Plant Tissue Culture Overview
- Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) refers to the in vitro cultivation of all plant parts in a controlled environment, facilitating micropropagation or clonal propagation.
- Complies with standards laid out by the Philippine Agricultural Structures (PAES 416:2002) and follows Department Circular No. 03 (2020) for accreditation.
Fundamental Abilities of Plants
- Totipotency: A single plant cell can develop into a whole plant if appropriately stimulated, indicating all necessary genetic information is within the cell.
- De-differentiation: Mature cells can revert to a meristematic status, allowing new growth points to form.
- Competency and Determination: Competency refers to a cell's capacity to follow a certain developmental pathway, while determination is the irreversible commitment of cells to that pathway.
Types of In Vitro Culture
- Intact Plant Culture: For example, seed culture in orchids.
- Organ Culture: Involves specific plant parts, such as shoots or roots, encouraging continued growth and development.
Plant Development in Tissue Culture
- Transformation from zygote to mature plant involves significant changes in size, structure, and function.
- Development processes include:
- Growth: An irreversible increase in size through cell division and enlargement.
- Cellular Differentiation: Specialization of cells to perform specific functions.
Types of Plant Growth In Vitro
- Organized Growth: Maintains the structure of plant organs and follows the process of organogenesis when plant parts are cultured.
- Unorganized Growth: Occurs when plant tissue lacks recognizable structure, leading to non-specific tissue formation.
Applications of Tissue Culture Techniques
- Utilized in horticultural crops, such as the micropropagation of various ornamental plants, including orchids and anthuriums.
- Significant for fruit crops; most commercially produced strawberries begin from in vitro propagated plantlets.
- Benefits plantation crops like date palms and pomegranates, enhancing cultivation techniques.
Types of Tissue Culture Classifications
- Plantlet Formation: Involves meristem culture and adventitious shoot formation.
- Seedling Formation: Involves seed culture, embryo culture, and other related techniques.
- Callus Formation: Uses callus culture and protoplast suspension culture.
- Somatic Embryo Formation: Includes somatic embryogenesis and synthetic seed techniques.
Organ Cultures
- Isolate and culture specific plant organs, ensuring they remain organized throughout the process.
- Types include shoot culture, nodal culture, and meristem culture, each serving distinct propagation purposes.
Cell Culture and Other Techniques
- Protoplast Culture: Isolated cells without cell walls that can synthesize new walls and possibly fuse for hybridization.
- Embryo Culture: Aseptic culture of embryos for propagation and breeding.
- Anther and Pollen Culture: Aims for haploid cell or callus development for breeding objectives.
Procedures in Plant Tissue Culture
- Isolation of explant from a plant.
- Placement in suitable environmental conditions for incubation.
- Plant regeneration can occur through somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis.
Modes of Plant Regeneration
- Embryo Culture: Uses nutrient medium to culture zygotic embryos.
- Organogenesis: Forms shoots from callus or cultured tips, maintaining a connection to the original tissue.
- Somatic Embryogenesis: Generation of independent embryos from somatic cells.
Embryogenesis Stages
- The development of an embryo progresses through distinct stages: globular, scutellar, coleoptilar for monocots; globular, heart, torpedo, cotyledonary stages for dicots.
Summary
- Plant tissue culture techniques advance agricultural practices, offering innovative and efficient propagation methods that can enhance the quality and yield of various plant species.
