Annotation -
The lectures deal with selected topics in plant tissue cultures (PTC) and the specificity of in vitro growth, with botanical microtechniques used in PTC, PTC as a model system for studying heterotrophy, autotrophy and mixotrophy, photoautotrophic PTC (establishment of the cultures, anatomy of regeneration systems, differentiation of chloroplasts and their ultrastructure, specificity of leaf and stomatal structure, photosynthetic performance, respiration processes, sensitivity to photoinhibition, role of sugars in the medium, growth of plantlets), transfer of plantlets from in vitro conditions to ex vitro environment and possibilities to improve acclimatization, vitrification or hyperhydricity in PTC, systems for largre-scale photoautotrophic plant micropropagation, and the use of transgenosis in up-to-date plant physiology.

Syllabus -

1. Introduction: characterization of different types of plant in vitro cultures

2. Methods of botanical microtechnique applied in plant tissue cultures

3. Plant tissue culture as a model system for studying heterotrophy, autotrophy and mixotrophy

4. Photoautotrophic plant in vitro culture

  • establishment and subculturing
  • anatomy of regeneration systems
  • differentiation and ultrastructure of chloroplasts
  • specificity of leaf mesostructure

5. Photosynthetic performance (light and CO2 response, CO2 fixation, carboxylation)

  • respiration processes
  • growth, fytohormones

6. Photoinhibition in in vitro grown plantlets, protective role of sugars in stress avoidance

7. Transfer of plantlets from in vitro to ex vitro environment, effect of hardening and control of the acclimation

8. Physiology of primary nodal explants

  • metabolic interrelationships of the tissues in vitro
  • fytohormonal effects

9. Vitrification or hyperhydricity in plant tissue culture

10. New approaches in photoautotrophic micropropagation: large-scale production of plants, recent advances in environment control, forced-ventilation systems, application for space agriculture

11. Transgenic plants, establishment and impact in up-to-date plant physiology
