Physical microenvironment and its effects

  • Chapter
Automation and environmental control in plant tissue culture

Abstract

Growth and development of plant tissue cultures are intimately coupled to the microenvironment in the culture vessels. The microenvironment, in turn, is largely dependent on mass and energy exchange processes. Maximum potentials for growth and developmental rates of cultures are determined by their genes, however their actual rates are limited by their surrounding microenvironment. Systematic comprehension and control of the microenvironment is, therefore, required to realize the full genetic potential of cultures, and to establish a procedure which will make cultures exhibit their hereditary characteristics in a highly efficient and stable way to meet our purposes.
