\section*{Objectives}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item To learn methods of plant material sterilisation.
|
|
\item To gain experience in establishment and maintenance of sterile culture of seedlings and plants.
|
|
\item To establish a sterile culture of \textit{Arabidopsis thaliana} and \textit{Nicotiana sp.} plants used as an explant source in Practicals 3, 7, and 8.

\section*{Introduction}
|
|
To avoid the process of plant material sterilisation, sterile culture of plants growing in \textit{in vitro} conditions are recommended as a source of the explants. When fragments of seedlings are used as the explants, seeds can be sterilised and germinated \textit{in vitro}, providing axenic seedling culture.
|
|
|
|
In the case the explants are taken from mature plant tissue, usually the donor plants cannot be maintained in axenic culture, and the process of sterilisation cannot be avoided.
|
|
|
|
One of the exceptions are the species from the \textit{Solanaceae} family (e.g., tomato, tobacco), which are easily maintained in \textit{in vitro} culture by a propagation of so-called "cuttings" cultured on an MS10 agar medium. Plants from germinated \textit{in vitro} seeds of \textit{Solanaceae} family can be propagated by cuttings.
