Introduction to Plant Tissue Culture is a hands-on, skill-focused course that equips learners with the practical competencies required to work with plant in vitro systems. The course emphasizes real laboratory practices, guiding students through the complete tissue culture workflow—from setting up a sterile workspace and preparing culture media to selecting suitable explants and inducing plant regeneration.
Learners gain direct exposure to aseptic techniques, sterilization protocols, and routine laboratory organization while developing the ability to identify, monitor, and troubleshoot common in vitro culture problems. The instructional approach is step-wise and practice-driven, ensuring that concepts are immediately translated into executable laboratory skills.
By the end of the course, learners will be capable of independently planning, executing, and managing basic plant tissue culture activities, preparing them for academic laboratory work, commercial micropropagation units, and entry-level positions in plant biotechnology.
