To disseminate the knowledge and skill to students and develop entrepreneurs in plant tissue culture to meet the green demands of the day by day increasing population.
Worldwide Plant tissue culture technique is being utilized as an imperative tool to meet green economy of the country. Plantlets are grown in large number from isolated cells or tissues under sterile and controlled conditions outside the parent plant. Plant Tissue Culture Lab provides the facility of growing large number of isolated cells or tissues under sterile and controlled conditions obtained from any part of the plant like stem, root, leaf etc. which are encouraged to produce more cells in culture and to express their totipotency (i.e., their genetic ability to produce more plants). Cells or tissues are grown in different types of glass vials containing a medium with mineral nutrients, vitamins and phyto-hormones. Tissue Culture techniques are being exploited in this laboratory to multiply plants which are difficult to propagate by conventional means. The Centre was established in the month of March 2012 under Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India under a funded project entitled “Large scale production of 4- ipomeanol an anti cancer agent”
