Plant Tissue Culture Facility

High consumption of Medicinal plant lead to reduction in its populations. In this lab plant tissue culture technique is used to increase the population of endangered medicinal plants with standardized protocol collected from Gandhamardhan. The Banana tissue culture lab is supported by NABARB, Odisha Regional Officer for its micro propagation of G-9 variety for its large- scale production of disease free, early harvesting of Superior fruit bunches in one year.
Facilities in Plant Tissue Culture

• Washing and storage facilities
• Media preparation, sterilisation and storage room
• Transfer area for aseptic manipulations
• Culture rooms for maintenance of cultures under controlled condi­tions of temperature, light and humidity
• Observation or data collection area
• Transplantation area
