Abstract
Plant biotechnology is a great tool in several fields of human life such as medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, biomass, and biofuels. The use of nanotechnology represent and improvement in plant tissue culture that is a technique mostly used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation with different stages. In this chapter tissue culture in modern agriculture and the use of nanomaterials for genetic transformation of plants; nanosilver as antimicrobial agent; nanomaterials for callus induction, organogenesis, and somatic embryogenesis; and titanium dioxide nanoparticles to remove bacterial contaminants will be discussed.
