What is the meaning of sterilisation? Why is it essential in tissue culture? |
|
Answer» Sterilisation refers to the complete killing of microorganisms so that a normal, pathogen free condition is created. Sterilisation is essential in tissue culture because it requires regeneration of plant from explants, in a test tube, under sterile conditions. So, sterilisation is prerequisite as growth of unwanted microorganisms would contaminate the nutrient media and further procedure would be difficult to carry out. |
