Course objectives
Passing through this course, students are able to:
apply basic methods and techniques of plant cell, tissue and organ culture in vitro;
propose in vitro methods suitable for plant multiplication, breeding and production;
estimate efficiency of the selected method for specific plant material on the base of visible symptoms.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- work in sterile conditions of in vitro cultures;
- prepare culture media and sterilize them;
- create and maintain different in vitro cultures;
- transfer plants from in vitro to glasshouse.
