M.Pharm. I Year II Sem.
Course Objective: The topics are designed to help the students to get exposed to various techniques of plant tissue culture. Use the biotechnological techniques for obtaining and improving the Quality of natural products/medicinal plants
Course Outcome: Students will gain the knowledge about various strategies of plant tissue culture and students will gain knowledge about various secondary metabolites produced by plant tissue culture
UNIT I : Introduction to Plant biotechnology: Historical perspectives, prospects for development of plant biotechnology as a source of medicinal agents. Laboratory Organization, Sterilization techniques (Aseptic transfer) Concepts of Totipotency, Nutritional requirements, Media preparation, Explant preparation, Establishment of Aseptic cultures. Biotechnological applications of Plant Tissue culture in pharmacy and allied fields.
UNIT II : Different tissue culture techniques: Types and techniques of plant tissue culture, Organogenesis and embryogenesis, Protoplast fusion, synthetic seed and monoclonal variation, Micro propagation of medicinal and aromatic plants.
UNIT III : Immobilization techniques & Secondary Metabolite Production: Immobilization techniques of plant cell and its application, Precursors and elicitors on production of secondary metabolites, Cryopreservation of germ plasm.
UNIT IV : Biotransformation and Tran genesis: Biotransformation of Plant Cell Culture and its importance in secondary metabolite production.
