MORPHOGENETIC POTENTIAL OF EXPLANT

  MORPHOGENETIC POTENTIAL OF EXPLANT   Ø   Plant tissue culture is the in vitro aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs, or whole plant under controlled nutritional and environmental conditions to produce the clones of plants. Ø   The resultant clones are true to type of the selected genotype. The controlled condition provide the culture an environment conducive for their growth and multiplication. Ø   These conditions include proper   supply of nutrients, pH medium , adequate temperature and proper gaseous and liquid environment. Ø   Plant tissue culture technology is being widely used for large scale plant multiplication. Apart from their use as a tool of research, plant tissue culture techniques have in recent years, become of major industrial importance in the area of plant propagation , disease elimination, plant improvement by the production of secondary metabolites. Ø   Small pieces of tissue can be used to produce hundreds and thousands of plants in a continuous p

MINIMIZING POLLUTION HAZARDS, APPLICATION OF VERMITECHNOLOGY IN RECYCLING OF ORGANIC WASTE

  MINIMIZING POLLUTION HAZARDS, APPLICATION OF VERMITECHNOLOGY IN    RECYCLING OF ORGANIC WASTE Ø   Vermitechnology is a method of converting all the biodegradable wastes such as farm wastes, kitchen wastes, market wastes, bio-wastes of agro-based industrial wastes, livestock wastes etc. into useful product through the action of earthworms. Through their digestive process, earthworms convert decaying vegetable matter, composted green waste, animal waste and paper into valuable nutritive products for agriculture. Ø   The ideal objectives of vermitechnology are to upgrade the value of the original waste material, produce E arthworms form a major component of the soil system and these organisms have been efficiently ploughing the land for millions of years and assist in the recycling of organic nutrients for the efficient growth of plants. Ø   Compost worms are being used for recycling of organic waste and have the potential to be used in vermitechnology waste conversion systems for
