The Department for Plant Tissue Culture
About
the department
In vitro plant cultivation is nowadays an important
"tool" not only in plant propagation, but
also in adult plant rejuvenation, which facilitates
rooting and makes easier the propagation of a number
of woody species. Shoot tip and nodal segment as well
as axillary branching cultivation methods make possible
rapid vegetative propagation and in addition they are
very important for their reliability in genetic stability
preservation of plants (grapevine, apple, raspberry,
blackberry, rose, gerbera, carnation).
Applied and developmental research in the laboratory
of the Department of plant tissue culture provides the
basis for the development of models for healthy plant
cultivation and propagation of important horticulture
species, as well as for information transfer to commercial
firms and producers.
Scientific research activities of the department in
the field of plant physiology and biotechnology are
dealing with the effect of growth regulators on the
morphogenesis (growth and development) of plant organisms.
Plant tissue culture is now an important part of plant
biotechnology and basis for the development and applicatin
of a variety of molecular biology methods.
The main researcher of this department is plant tissue
culture specialist Danijela Hartl, Ph.D.
