Moving from transformed cells to transformed plants:
plant tissue culture
• Plant cells are totipotent: any single cell can give rise
to a whole new plant
Shoot Proliferation
Plants in Soil
Transformation of Grapevine
PCR Validation
Plant tissue culture may be employed for many useful applications such as meristem
culture for pathogen elimination, rapid multiplication of genetically identical plants through
micropropagation, embryo rescue, somatic hybridization, ploidy manipulation and
modification through somaclonal variation.
All functional transformation systems consist of three critical components: Useful genes
(selection and new traits), a method for gene transfer and a regeneration method
capable of the selection of single, transformed cells and inducing them to become
complete plants.
