Plant tissue culture and regenerative biology focus on the in vitro cultivation of plant cells, tissues, and organs for rapid propagation, genetic improvement, and conservation of valuable plant species. These techniques play a crucial role in producing disease-free plants, conserving endangered species, and supporting large-scale commercial crop production.
Advancements in micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, organogenesis, and in vitro regeneration have significantly accelerated plant breeding and biotechnology research, enabling the development of improved crop varieties with enhanced productivity and resilience.
This session will explore recent innovations in plant tissue culture, regenerative biology, micropropagation, germplasm conservation, in vitro technologies, and their applications in agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology.
