Plant Tissue Culture

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is an important tool for both basic and applied studies in the plant field and has been widely adopted in agricultural manufacturing. Lifeasible, as a specialized plant biotechnology company with forefront techniques and dominating markets around the world, provides customized plant tissue culture service with optimized protocols.

Based on the principle that plant cells have the ability to retain the full genetic potential for development and differentiation (i.e. plant cellular totipotency), the plant tissue culture technique allows regeneration of an entire plant from single cells or a small piece of tissue. Typically, a certain type of explant (such as plant protoplasts, mature or immature embryos, leaves, hypocotyls, roots, etc.) is collected and grown on a nutrient culture medium under sterile conditions. The specific protocol varies depending on the target species and the kind of response that is desired, including rapid propagation, meristem tip culture, protoplast fusion, in vitroanther culture, etc. Plant tissue culture has been widely applied in many areas, including:

  • Large-scale propagation of elite materials.
  • Generation of genetic modified fertile individuals.
  • In vitro cultures as a model for the study of plant physiology.
  • Preservation of rare and endangered species.
  • Metabolic engineering of fine chemicals.
  • Virus/disease free plants culture via meristem tip culture.
  • Haploid/polyploidy breeding via in vitro anther culture.
  • Crosses between distantly related species by protoplast fusion.
  • Embryo rescue.

Lifeasible is a prominent supplier of a large collection of plants (flowers, vegetables, fruits, food crops, rare plants, medicinal plants, woody trees, etc.) which serves multiple industries including agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and tourism. As an innovative plant biotechnology company, we not only have advanced knowledge and experience with the plant tissue culture technique but also have feasible equipments and large-capacity greenhouses for the culturing, growth and propagation of plant materials. We also have established close collaborations with distinguished national and international academic institutions which offer to undertake contract research projects. Welcome to contact us for technical consulting, experimental designing or other informations, and we are always happy to help with your research.
