Microtechnique is an aggregate of methods used to prepare micro-objects for studying. [1] It is currently being employed in many fields in life science. Two well-known branches of microtechnique are botanical (plant) microtechnique and zoological (animal) microtechnique.
Plant tissue culture is used widely in the plant sciences, forestry, and horticulture. Applications include: The commercial production of plants used as potting, landscape, and florist subjects, which uses meristem and shoot culture to produce large numbers of identical individuals. [8] To conserve rare or endangered plant species. [9] [10]
But, flowers can pose problems for our furry friends − particularly cats. Many flowers and plants deemed safe for humans are toxic for cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention ...
Micropropagation can be used to produce disease-free plants. It can have an extraordinarily high fecundity rate, producing thousands of propagules while conventional techniques might only produce a fraction of this number. It is the only viable method of regenerating genetically modified cells or cells after protoplast fusion.
Microtechnology is a set of processes, techniques and tools used to create structures having at least one dimension of a functional feature in order of micrometer (one millionth of a metre, or 10-6 metre, or 1μm), typically within the range of 10 −4 to 10 −7 meters and application of those structures in more complex systems.
Plant perception is the ability of plants to sense and respond to the environment by adjusting their morphology and physiology. [1] Botanical research has revealed that plants are capable of reacting to a broad range of stimuli, including chemicals, gravity, light, moisture, infections, temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, parasite infestation, disease, physical disruption ...
The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. [1] Because it is a non-circulating technique, no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required. [2]
New research led by Kyoto University has found that "cats may be as intelligent as dogs, as opposed to the common view of people that dogs are much smarter." For the study, ...
