Biotechnology: tissue culture of tobacco plant
Biotechnology: tissue culture of the tobacco plant Nicotiana tabacum growing in a petri dish on nutrient agar. The tissue cultures are grown from tobacco calluses, parenchymatous cells that form around a wounded plant surface. The mass of undifferentiated cells, or even a single cell, is placed on a sterile culture medium containing salts, a variety of organic materials, vitamins & growth substances. After a period of time shoots & leaves emerge & a normal, healthy plant is regrown. Tissue culture has various applications in plant breeding

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of biotechnology and its application in plant breeding. The image captures a close-up view of a petri dish containing tissue cultures of the tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum, growing on nutrient agar. These tissue cultures are derived from calluses formed around injured areas of the plant's surface. In this groundbreaking technique, a mass of undifferentiated cells or even just one cell is carefully placed on a sterile culture medium enriched with salts, organic materials, vitamins, and growth substances. Over time, these tiny clusters transform into shoots and leaves that eventually give rise to a fully developed tobacco plant. Tissue culture has revolutionized botanical research by providing scientists with an efficient method for studying and manipulating plants at the cellular level. It serves as an invaluable tool in genetic studies and allows researchers to explore various aspects of plant biology. While it's important to note that this photo does not depict any commercial use or endorsement by any specific company, it beautifully illustrates the power of biotechnology in advancing our understanding of plants' genetic makeup. By harnessing tissue culture techniques like these, scientists can pave the way for innovative approaches to crop improvement and sustainable agriculture practices.
