Callus culture

Callus culture

A technique of tissue culture; it is usually on solidified medium and initiated by inoculation of small explants or sections from established organ or other cultures (the inocula). Callus culture is used as the basis for organogenic (shoot, root) cultures, cell cultures or proliferation of embryoids. Callus cultures can be indefinitely maintained through regular sub-culturing.
