Why Tissue Culture Teak?

Tissue culture is a technique used to grow plants from small tissue samples. It is a cost-effective method that can be used to produce a large number of plants in a small area. Teak (Tectona grandis Linn f.) is a valuable hardwood tree species that is widely used in the furniture industry. However, the natural regeneration of teak is slow, and the demand for teak wood has increased over the years. This has led to the development of tissue culture techniques to propagate teak plants in a large number.

Tissue Culture Process

Selection of the mother plant: The first step in Tissue culture teak is the selection of the mother tree (Plus tree). The mother tree should be healthy, disease-free, and have desirable characteristics.
Collection of Shoots : A trained tree climber will climb the mother tree and collect young healthy shoots.
Sterilization of plant material: The plant material is sterilized to eliminate any bacteria, fungi, or viruses that may be present on the surface of the plant. The plant material is treated with a solution containing disinfectants and antibiotics.
