Cell culture (lab 3)

cells capable of cell division or elongation

growth of a plant at the tips of the plant

growth of a plant alongside the stem or root

contains a shoot apical meristem

contains a shoot lateral meristem

a small corky, oval or elongated area on the surface of a plant stem, trunk, or fruit that allows the interchange of gases

cells differentiated into other organs or tissues depending on the place of the cells and the moment

concept of modifying the plant’s shape depending on the environment

crucial for the making of plant tissues

new embryo formed from somatic cells

any cell not involved in the reproduction system

part of a plant tissue used for starting a culture

liquid or solid containing glucose (and other) to grow the explants ~> since they are not doing any photosynthesis they need sugar

all work is done in a sterilized environment to prevent contamination

culture of seed to raise sterile seedling through in vitro

isolation of an embryo given from an organism for in vitro growth

unspecialized, unorganized and a dividing mass of cells
