    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.
