A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH ON DEVELOPMENT OF GENETICALLY STABLE PLANTS
AbstractPharmaceutical demand for enhanced secondary metabolite production is increased today and for meeting deficiency of secondary metabolite can be achieved by plant tissue culture. Healthy and disease-free plants can be propagated by this technique. Also endangered plants can be preserved or conserved by this technique. Micropropagation of plants of medical importance and multiplication of high yielding plants is achieved by using plant tissue culture and they are adapted to local atmospheric condition by biotechnological approach. Core principles used in plant tissue culture like Totipotency, Aseptic environment, Nutrient media. Plant tissue culture is also used in Micropropagation, Genetic engineering, Germplasma conservation, Virus elimination etc. Advantages of plant tissue culture include Disease -free plants, Faster multiplication, Year-round production, True-to type offspring, Preservation of genetic diversity. The challenges of plant tissue culture are maintaining sterility and preventing contamination requires techniques.
