Plant Tissue Culture

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Transgenic Plants

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction allows plants to reproduce without growing flowers, attracting pollinators, or dispersing seeds. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent and produced without the fusion of male and female gametes.

Background:

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a vital global food staple, with tuberization regulated by complex factors.
Studying below-ground tuber development in soil is challenging, limiting research into this critical process.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the factors influencing microtuberization, an in vitro method for studying potato tuber development.
To explore molecular regulators of the stolon-to-tuber transition and highlight applications of microtuber technology.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on microtuberization in Solanum tuberosum L.
Analysis of internal (genotype, explant) and external (photoperiod, temperature, PGRs, sucrose) factors affecting microtuber formation.
Examination of molecular mechanisms and applications of microtubers.

Main Results:

Microtuberization provides a controlled, visible system for studying tuber development, overcoming limitations of soil-based methods.
Identified key internal and external factors influencing microtuberization, offering insights into regulatory networks.
Microtubers serve as valuable, disease-free propagules for germplasm conservation and research.

Conclusions:

Microtuberization is a robust model for investigating potato tuberization mechanisms and environmental influences.
Applications include disease-free seed production, mass propagation, germplasm conservation, and molecular farming.
Advancing microtuber research is crucial for potato improvement and global food security.
