  2. Plant tissue culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_culture

    Plant tissue culture relies on the fact that many plant parts have the ability to regenerate into a whole plant (cells of those regenerative plant parts are called totipotent cells which can differentiate into various specialized cells). Single cells, plant cells without cell walls (protoplasts), pieces of leaves, stems or roots can often be ...

  3. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Sunflower sea star regenerates its arms. Dwarf yellow-headed gecko with regenerating tail. Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [1]

  4. Somatic embryogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_embryogenesis

    Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. [1] Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue. No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.

  5. Developmental biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_biology

    For studies of regeneration urodele amphibians such as the axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum are used, [53] and also planarian worms such as Schmidtea mediterranea. [10] Organoids have also been demonstrated as an efficient model for development. [54] Plant development has focused on the thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism. [55]

  6. Callus (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callus_(cell_biology)

    Regeneration of a whole plant from a single cell allows transgenics researchers to obtain whole plants which have a copy of the transgene in every cell. Regeneration of a whole plant that has some genetically transformed cells and some untransformed cells yields a chimera. In general, chimeras are not useful for genetic research or agricultural ...

  7. Plant stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem_cell

    Traditionally, plant stem cells were thought to only exist in SAM and RAM and studies were conducted based on this assumption. However, recent studies have indicated that (pro)cambium also serves as a niche for plant stem cells: "Procambium cells fulfill the criteria for being stem cells since they have the capacity for long-term self renewal and being able to differentiate into one or more ...

  8. Tissue culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_culture

    These cells may be cells isolated from a donor organism (primary cells) or an immortalised cell line. The cells are bathed in a culture medium, which contains essential nutrients and energy sources necessary for the cells' survival. [8] Thus, in its broader sense, "tissue culture" is often used interchangeably with "cell culture".

  9. Micropropagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropropagation

    In protoplast culture, the plant cell can be isolated with the help of wall degrading enzymes and growth in a suitable culture medium in a controlled condition for regeneration of plantlets. Under suitable conditions the protoplast develops a cell wall followed by an increase in cell division and differentiation and grows into a new plant.
