Plant cell culture

Maybe 'advanced botany' as opposed to mycology, but -
I see that many labs grow plant cells in culture media. How do they go about this? What media could be used? What kind of nutrients might a plant need that could be added to culture media?
I have read about the growth of moss in culture. But moss is a special case as it has spores. How would I go about culturing, say, a tomato plant? Could I go from a tomato leaf to a culture plate of tomato cells?

There is a book I read many years ago called plants from test tubes that describes this. Generally you don't culture cells, but explants. Cells can be cultured though by using physical methods to get the cells (like a blender) or chemicals or enzymes. Media is more complicated but sterile technique is the same. To get tissue into agar several washes and rinses are used. I think diluted bleach and water iso and dish soap did the trick.

i saw an old thread about this recently. it sounds cool, but what is the point of doing this? i just didn't understand the practical purpose of it & no one really mentioned WHY they were talking about it. can you grow more plants from it or something?

In my country, Most, if not all, banana plant cultures for farming bananas are from tissue culture and most of the time are affordable(but when you need, say, a thousand plants or more, then it quickly adds up) so my guess is,depending on what specific plant youre trying to grow, it might be practical.
Yes you could probably grow way more plants vs traditional propagation methods.

thatโs super interesting!! i didnโt realize it was such a viable propagation method. iโll have to look more into it, the concept is pretty cool

You can search for 'micropropagation'.
Id also like to learn to do it someday.

I've been doing tissue culture work for a few years now. Murashige and Skoog media is most commonly used, but orchids and walnuts have their own formulas. As for coming from a stem or leaf, that's absolutely possible.

One of my intentions is to explore it for mycorrhizal or parasitic fungal species that need plants to live. Some species only grow with plants and won't germinate on MEA. So the idea would be 'co-culturing', both fungi and plant cells.
Example: there is a fungus that lives on the leaves of morning glory plants and makes alkaloids. It was tested on sterile media and it didn't grow. One might be able to produce alkaloids though in a dish where you grow out morning glory leaf cells.

I have this in my list of things to do sooner rather than later
The myriad applications for high value plants are pretty spectacular
Consider if you grow cannabis and have a couple dozen mother plants you keep as a genetic library, well that is using resources and grow space and obviously if you could keep most of that in cold storage and wake it as needed, that would be quite a saving of resources and of the daily effort to keep that all going in live plant form
Not to mention that now if you want backups kept to ensure the clone is never lost to law enforcement or sudden death, a friendly grower buddy is not needed anymore, anyone with a fridge can hold your cuts essentially. And with most folks not having the necessary skills to wake that up off a plate, the chance of theft is minimal, whereas taking a cutting from a live plant any idiot can do
Orchids are also interesting but that is a whole other discussion I don't know shit about... yet
Guess these techniques might be able to be applied to cacti as well, I dunno, hoping to learn more soon. I have seen there is added complexity to the plate media from the small amount of research I already did, I guess maybe some premixed media you buy is the way here, even though I would always make my own agar for mycology
good stuff fellas

Thanks for all the info, this is the kind of info Im trying to absorb from this site! Cheers.

Yeah I'm sure these special medias provide the best results... but I would highly doubt if there wasn't something that could be made in a home pretty easily. This site seems to have taught me that a lot of complex cultivation tools have a DIY equivalent. I guess it needs testing.

Hey guys I was actually just about to do a write up on a home made version of the murashige and skoog or modified fries medium that I concocted from published science articles
Iโm deep into the study of ecto/mycorrhizal species and this is something Iโve been trying to mimic in house so Iโll share the link as soon as I finish the write up.... everything can be bought locally except ph paper
Also if youโre going this route I also recommend a quick look at my post about ph effects on agar solidification
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27696637
Also hereโs my home made antibiotic agar recipe if you are starting from a wild specimen itโs very helpful since itโs more then likely heavily contaminated with bacteria especially chanterelles that can have bacteria incorporated internally

fuck yeah, this is really cool. glad i found this thread! some home DIY methods for getting into this kind of work would be really awesome. the example of keeping a library of mother plants alone would be so practical & worth it. iโm keeping one as a โbonsaiโ mother right now but fuck, she grows like 6โ in a week lol. plus itโs so easy to under water once they get root bound, not to mention nutrients etc. the cacti applications are also quite fascinating. would love to go down this rabbit hole more

For media murashige and skoog agar seems to be a common one. The ingredient list is pretty varied and may not be as easy to make at home as other mediums like pda or mea.

Which reminds me of overcomplicated Cordyceps liquid culture recipes and yet its progressing to somewhat more accessible ingredients now.
Maybe if more people catches on to doing plant cell cultures, easier, more accesible recipes will be opened up?
