Gottlieb Haberlandt
Gottlieb Haberlandt is known as the father of plant tissue culture.
Gottlieb Haberlandt (28 November 1854 to 30 January 1945) was an Austrian botanist.
His original idea presented in 1902 was called Totipotentiality.
Explant
An explant is the part of a plant which has got the regeneration potential and is capable to give rise to the whole plant.
Step 1 Explant for callus culture
Step 2 Surface sterilization
Step 3 Factors affecting callus culture
Physical factors
Growth regulators
Step 4 Suspension culture from callus
Callus culture callus is the undifferentiated and unorganized mass of plant cells
It is basically a tumor tissue which usually forms on wounds of differentiated tissues or organs
Callus formation in vivo is frequently observed as a result of wounds at edges of stems or roots
Explant for callus culture
The explant for callus culture may be the differentiated tissue from any part of the plant
The explant for callus culture may be the differentiated tissue from any part of the plant
The selected explant tissues may be at different stages of cell division cell proliferation and organization into different distinct specialized structures
If the explant used possesses meristematic cells then the cell division and multiplication will be rapid
Factors affecting callus culture
Many factors are known to influence callus formation in invitro cultures
MS medium most commonly used physical factors and growth factors
