Tissue Culture or Micropropagation is an important alternative to more conventional methods of plant propagation. It involves production of plants from very small plant parts (e.g. buds, nodes, leaf segments, root segments etc.), grown aseptically (free from any microorganism) in a container where the environment and nutrition can be controlled.

A form of asexual propagation undertaken in specialized laboratories, in which clones are produced from small cell clusters.

A form of asexual propagation undertaken in specialized laboratories, in which clones are produced from small cell clusters. Tissue culture of daylilies has not been reliably successful, as various mutations and non-true-to-form progeny have been produced and disseminated. The method, while proven with many plants such as hosta and orchids, remains [..]

The growth in an artificial medium of cells derived from living tissue.

Plant Tissue Culture or Micropropagation refers to growing plants at the cellular level. A small part of the plant you wish to reproduce is reproduced by cellular division and then multiplied to produ [..]

The process of generating new plants by placing small pieces of plant material onto a sterile medium. Also called embryo culture.

Term used to describe the research technique involving growth of cells experimentally outside the organism (in vitro

The maintenance or growth of tissues, in vitro, in a way that may allow differentiation and preservation of their architecture and/or function.

A method of cloning plants where a small piece of plant tissue is grown in a gel growth medium containing nutrients and hormones so that shoots and roots develop. The technique allows rapid reproducti [..]

A general term used to describe the culture of cells, tissues or organs in a nutrient medium under sterile conditions

The maintenance or growth of tissues, in vitro, in a way that may allow differentiation and preservation of their architecture and/or function.

A collection of living cells that provides a cultivation medium for viruses, bacteria, and other organisms. The propagation of viruses in tissue culture was an important milestone in studying viruses [..]

Growing mammalian cells in the laboratory in a tissue culture medium (in vitro). For example, this allows researchers to determine the effects of various chemicals on mammalian cells without exper [..]

1. A process of growing a plant in the laboratory from cells rather than from seeds. The technique is used in traditional plant breeding as well as when using techniques of agricultural biotechnology. 2. The growth of animal or plant cells in vitro in an artificial culture medium for experimental research. Also known as cell culture.

Growing cells or tissues out of the organism under artificial conditions in the laboratory.

A process involving the separation of cells from each other and their growth in a container of liquid nutrients

Growing small pieces of plant tissue in a sterile growing medium that provides the nutrition needed for the selected plant tissue to grow Transect

A procedure for growing or cloning enough cells through in vitro techniques to make a tissue.

The growth of cells or tissue under carefully controlled laboratory conditions.

The process of generating new plants by placing small pieces of plant material onto a sterile medium. Also called embryo culture.

A technique for cultivation cells, tissues, or organs of plants in a sterile, synthetic medium; includes the tissues excised from a plant and the culture of pollen or seeds.

Originally the maintenance and growth of pieces of explanted tissue (plant or animal) in culture away from the source organism. Now usually refers to the (much more frequently used) technique of cell culture, using cells dispersed from tissues, or distant descendants of such cells.

Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells separate from the organism. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar. Tissue cultur [..]
