tissue culture
tissue culture Individual cells of an organism, that are grown in a sterile medium containing the nutrients the cells require. The technique can yield information about the nutritional requirements of individual cells, and whole plants can often be grown from tissue samples or even from single cells. In
gene banks, tissue culture methods may be used to store plants, in a non-bulky growth phase, if their seeds do not remain viable for long periods of time. It is also possible to save crop plant varieties from extinction through an attack by pathogens by isolating and culturing meristematic tissue (see
MERISTEM), which is rarely attacked. Crosses can also be made between otherwise incompatible plants by removing
embryos before they are aborted and growing them by this method.
