Organogenesis II Plant Tissue Culture II Biotechnology notes

 What is ORGANOGENESISI?

  • The process of development of pant organs in vitro by plant tissue culture is called ORGANOGENESIS.

  • Organ can be root, shoot or embryo depending upon that they are called as root organogenesis, shoot organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis.

  • These freshly originated organs developed are called adventitious.

  • Skoog and Miller reported that the organogenesis was balance of Auxin and Cytokinin. 

  • In Organogenesis depending on nature of growth hormone in medium Shoot or Root originate first.

  • The phenomenon of ORGANOGENESIS is based upon principle of CELLULAR POTENCY. Plant cells are of TOTIPOTENT nature means they have the ability to divide and produce all the cells.

  • For example: - A plant cutting or Callus can be used to grow an entire plant.

  • Totipotency depends upon COMPETENCE that is ability of a cell to be induced to a particular development pathway  

       Second thing in DETERMINATION which means cells become irreversibly committed to particular pathway.

  • To express totipotency by mature differentiated cell it must undergo DEDIFFRENTIATION and REDIFFRENTIATION.

  • DEDIFFRENTIATION: - A mature cell reverts to meristematic state and form undifferentiated callus.

  • REDIFFRENTIATION: -It is the conversion of competent callus cell to whole plant.
