Basic technique of plant tissue culture

-
Following steps are used for plant tissue culture
1.In vetro lab:
       For in vitro culture a well equipped lab is require which must have a media room for nutrient medium preparation ,sterilization of glass,metal as well as others .Given facility are found on those lab are as follow .
I.Nutrient medium preparation ,sterilization and storage of supplies
ii.An artificial environment is require for the growth and development of culture plant .
iii.Observation and evaluation of culture as hoped.
Equipment for these culture
      Refrigerator,hot air ovan,Autoclave,Normal temperature balance,Normal chemical balance ,Microscope,PH meter,hot plate,gas stove/heater ,hot plate with regulator ,magnetic stirrer,water dissolution plant.
Apparatus required :
Test tube(20cc-2000cc),Measuring cylinder (5-1000ml),pipette(0.01-10ml),petri dish(4-8inches ),conical flask(50-3000ml),volumetric flask for storing chemicals50-500ml).
Others:
  Pointed forceps,blunt forceps,scalples,seissors,fine pointed needle,aluminium foils,medical cottons,filter papers,rubber bands,sprit lamp,sterilizing boxes and surgical blades.
2.Selection of nutrient medium :
      The nutrient medium provides nutrition and hormone as well as other biochemical requirement for the growth and multiplication culture plant.13 elements are necessary for the growth of plants which are divided into 2 groups ie Macronutrients and micronutrients.Macronutrients such as (C,H,O,Ca,Mg,K,P,S) and micro nutrient such as (Mn,Zn,Bo,Cu,Mo,Cl) among them these macro nutrient are used larger quantity in compare to micro nutrient .Some popular nutrient medium are
I.White'medium (WM)-1954
ii.Murasighe and skoog'(MS)-1962
iii.Nitech's medium (NM)-1969
iv.Nageta and Takebc's(NTM)-1972
3.Preparation of nutrient medium :
         Basically we prepare stock solution of nutrient medium maintaining PH 5.7to5.8
for one liter of nutrient medium we use
Macro nutrient -50ml
Micro nutrient -5ml
Iron source -5ml
succorose-30gm/lit
Plant hormone -depend upon 
basically low concentration of auxine and high concentration of cytokynine is used for shoot culture and vice-varsa for root culture .
4.Sterilization:
         Sterilization is prevention of contamination is one of the foremost requirement for in vitro technique .Basically it is divided into 3 groups .
A.physical sterilization
B.chemical sterilization
C.ultra filteration
A.physical sterilization:
I.by dry heat method :
      The glass/metals instruments used in culture were treated with ethyl alcohol as well as heated with hot air ovan about 160°C for few hours.
ii.by wet method 
        plastic,cotton and filterpaper are heated under pressure in autoclave for 20min .
iii.Light sterilization:
      A UV light is used in a room before a day of culture of plant and UV light is used in working table before one hour of culture.
B.chemical sterilization:
         Heat and rediation are not used for the sterilization of plant materials .Chemical are used to kill microbs.Sodium hypocjloride are used for sterilization of plant parts and 70% ethyl alcohol are used for cleaning our hands.
C.Ultra filteration:
        Heat sensitive hormone and vitamin are sterilized in this process .We used Milipone filter paper to sterilized such things .
5.Micropropagation:
   It deal with following 
I.establishment of culture 
ii.selection of explants
iii.Inoculation
iv.leveling of culture

Formation of root nodules,Leghaemoglobin and Symbiotic nitrogen fixation

-
Image
Rhizobia ha the ability to fix free atmospheric nitrogen of soil in nodules.They enter in the root through the soft root hair or epidermis by damaging them.In the first stage of infection the bacteria grow very profusely (rapidly)in the tip of the root hair and form the long filament in the root called infection thread.This thread reaches the endodermis and pericycle through cortex.Cell of the cortex area goes on dividing  and  forms new nodules.This young nodules pushes the paranchyma and epidermis towards outside and form small swelling on the surface of root.The size pf root nodule vary according to the plant and their occurrence .It is not necessary all the bacteria ,which infect the root produce nodules. According to Wipf and Cooper(1939) the root nodules always contains twice the number of chromosome as against of normal somatic tissue.If the root lack double number of chromosome ,their will be no formation of root nodules.If plant do not have root nodule it cannot perf...

Biofertilizer and Cyano bacteria as biofertilizer

Biofertilizer:           Biofertilizer is a substances which contain living microorganisms which ,when applied to seed,plant surface or soil ,colonize the interior part of plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply of all nutrient for plantand  helps in increasing the quality and quantity of plant. Cynobacteria as biofertilizer Isolation of BGA:           Algaligation it was japanese farmer who develop the technique for mass cultivation of BGA to be used as biofertilizer in paddy fields .Venkataraman(1961) coined the term algalization to denote the process of application of blue green algal culture in the field as biofertilizer.He iniated algaligation technology in india and demonstrate the way how this technology can be transferred to farmers . Preparation of starter culture:     First of all 5kg of surface paddy soil and water  were dilluted and kept in the tube containing fogg media maintaining the ...

Enzyme and mechanism for enzyme actions

Enzymes are the chemical catalysts that control verious biochemical reactions, without themselves being changed or utilized in the living beings . Beadle(1948) define enzyme as indispensable compound that play a key role in metabolism by bringing direction and control to the physiological process of living cells.Any change in enzyme component of living cell is immediately reflected changed in the physiological and biochemical process of cell. According to Fairley and Kilgour(1966) biological catalysts are called enzyme and with no known exception ,all enzymes are protein. Devlin(1970) also define the enzymes as organic catalysts which increase the rate of biochemical reactions.All enzymes are protein ,but all proteins are not enzyme . Most of the enzymes produced by all,function within that cell and hence are called intracellular or endoenzymes .However some enzyme are released by living cells and catalize reaction in the cell environment such enzyme are known as extracellular or e...
