“…Tissue culture techniques are being used with all types of plants, including cereals and grasses [154], legumes [155], vegetable crops [156], potato [157], other root and tuber crops [158], oilseeds [159], temperate [160], tropical [161] fruits, plantation crops [162], forest trees [163], and, of course, ornamentals [164]. As can be seen from these articles, the application of in vitro cell technology went well beyond micropropagation, and embraced all the in vitro approaches that were relevant or possible for the particular species, and the problem(s) being addressed.…”

Plant tissue culture, or the aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs, and their components under defined physical and chemical conditions in vitro, is an important tool in both basic and applied studies as well as in commercial application. It owes its origin to the ideas of the German scientist, Haberlandt, at the begining of the 20th century. The early studies led to root cultures, embryo cultures, and the first true callus/tissue cultures. The period between the 1940s and the 1960s was marked by the development of new techniques and the improvement of those that were already in use. It was the availability of these techniques that led to the application of tissue culture to five broad areas, namely, cell behavior (including cytology, nutrition, metabolism, morphogenesis, embryogenesis, and pathology), plant modification and improvement, pathogen-free plants and germplasm storage, clonal propagation, and product (mainly secondary metabolite) formation, starting in the mid-1960s. The 1990s saw continued expansion in the application of the in vitro technologies to an increasing number of plant species. Cell cultures have remained an important tool in the study of basic areas of plant biology and biochemistry and have assumed major significance in studies in molecular biology and agricultural biotechnology. The historical development of these in vitro technologies and their applications are the focus of this chapter.

“…Somatic embryogenesis has been reported mainly in cultured anthers and microspores. A few papers have described somatic embryogenesis in cultures of other explants in this family (Zee & Johnson, 1984;Reynolds 1994). Such is the case for Brassica campestris (Lichter, 1989;Aslam etal., 1990;Baillie etal., 1992).…”

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in cotyledonary explant cultures of Chinese cabbage

Cotyledonary explants of Chinese cabbage were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Up to 20% of the cotyledonary explants produced somatic embryos with or without intervening callus production. Explants became more competent as the age of the source seedlings increased up to 8 days, but cotyledonary explants from 10-day-old seedlings were not responsive. Upon transfer to MS basal medium most of the somatic embryos developed into plantlets. Plantlets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to maturity in a phytotron. Among three cultivars used, only cotyledonary explants of 'Top Salad' were capable of producing somatic embryos.
