What is vitro culture ?

Vitro culture is a procedure to regenerate plants genetically identical to the starting one.In this Agar, agarose and alginates can be used as a solid support for the growth of cells of bacteria, animals or plants. In fact, the cells and the tissues of many organisms are able to multiply and to form new organisms, if they are grown in the proper environment in presence of all the needed nutrients. The vitro culture technology of plant cells is simpler than that of animal cells.A culture medium containing all the nutritive elements (salts and vitamins, sugars) must be prepared and dispensed in jars where to insert a plant tissue explants. The culture is then maintained in proper conditions of light and temperature that vary from one case to another. Within days/weeks the growth of undifferentiated calli or differentiated tissues (buds, roots, etc) will be observed. It is possible with this procedure to regenerate the whole plant, genetically identical to the starting one.
