MICRO-PROPAGATION

What is MicropropagationWhat is MicropropagationA whole plant can be regenerated from a small tissue or plant cells in a suitable culture medium under controlled environment. The plantlets so produced are called tissue-culture raised plants.
The advantage is that in a relatively short time and space a large number of plants are obtained.
Type of micropropagationType of micropropagation1.Direct micropropagation
2.Indirect micropropagation

Why do MicropropagationWhy do Micropropagation A single explant can be multiplied into several thousand plants in less
than a year - this allows fast commercial propagation of new cultivars.
Once established, a plant tissue culture line can give a continuous supply of young plants throughout the year.
In plants prone to virus diseases, virus free explants (new meristem tissue is usually virus free) can be cultivated to provide virus free plants.
Plant ‘tissue banks’ can be frozen, then regenerated through tissue culture.
Plant cultures in approved media are easier to export than are soil-grown plants, as they are pathogen free and take up little space (most current plant export is now done in this manner).

Advantages of micropropagationAdvantages of micropropagation From one to many propagules rapidly Multiplication in controlled lab conditions Continuous propagation year round Potential for disease-free propagules Inexpensive per plant once established Precise crop production scheduling Reduce stock plant space Long-term germplasm storage Production of difficult-to-propagate species
DisadvantagesDisadvantages
Specialized equipment/facilities required More technical expertise required Protocols not optimized for all species Plants produced may not fit industry standards Relatively expensive to set up

Stage –IV: Acclimatization / Hardening

Healthy/elite plantlets are exposed to the natural conditions in a step wise manner.
It is a gradual acclimatization of in vitro grown plants to in vivo condition. The plantlets are transferred to the pots/polyghene bag and immediately
irrigated with inorganic/nutrient solution. Plants are kept in the hardening room where controlled conditions of light,
humidity and temperature are maintained. Plants are maintained under high humidity for 10-20 days and subsequently
transferred in the field so as to grow under natural conditions. The success rate of micropropagation depends on the survival of the plantlets when transferred from culture to the soil (field).

Method of Micro-propagation

Method of micro-propagationA. Meristem tip culture
B. Callus culture
C. Suspension culture
E. Protoplast culture
D. Embryo culture
F. Ovule culture
G. Anther culture
H. Cell culture 32
In addition to major use of tissue culture techniques for rapid clonal multiplication of plants, this technique is highly important for several purpose as under:1. Production and maintenance of pathogen free stock plants;2. Long term in vitro conservation of germplasm.3. Selection and regeneration of transgenic plants.4. Conservation of germplasm.

Micro-propagation Techniques & ProcedureA. Micro-Propagation by NodesB. Micro-propagation by Node Cuttings in a Liquid
Medium Procedure 1. Sterilize Petri dishes and prepare the laminar flow chamber by disinfecting the internal surfaces with alcohol. Sterilize the tools with an instrument sterilizer and place them on a sterile dish.2. Open the tube, take off the plantlet and place it on a Petri dish with the help of forceps.3. Remove the leaves and cut the nodes.4. Open a tube containing fresh sterile medium and place a node inside, trying to plunge it slightly into the medium with the bud up. Close the tube.5. Seal the tube with a gas-permeable plastic tape and label it correctly.It is recommended to place two explants in 16 x 125 mm tubes, three in 18 x 150 mm tubes, five in 25 x 150 mm tubes, and 20-30 in magenta vessels.
