Course Description
The course will introduce advanced plant propagation methods that cover micropropagation, tissue culture, sterile seed sowing, embryo rescue, fern spore culture, anther/pollen culture, and plant acclimation. Biotechnology based on tissue culture, including polyploid manipulation and gene transformation, will be also introduced. Emphasis will be placed on the technical aspects of plant propagation, as well as the biological basis for the responses demonstrated by plant species to different micropropagation protocols.
