Chapter 36.4, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
Totipotency and its use in tissue culture techniques for the growth of plants.
Introduction:
The word totipotency (totipotentia in Latin) means ability for all. Totipotency in biology is a unique characteristic of plants and animal cells. The application of this special characteristic is widely used in tissue culture techniques to grow a large number of cells in a controlled environment. Cellular totipotency is important for studying the fundamental and applied aspects of plant biology.
