Diploma in Plant Cell Bioprocessing
Learn about the fundamental applications of Plant Cell Technology and Plant Tissue Culture in this free online course.
Description
This free online course in Plant Cell Bioprocessing primarily explains the functionalities of the essential components of plant cells and the applications of Plant Cell Technology. You will learn about the history of plant cells and tissue culture as well as the nutritional requirements of plant cells that aid plant growth. You will study the concepts of Organogenesis and Regeneration, understanding their significance in plant cell biotechnology and organ development.
Next, the primary and secondary aspects of plant metabolism will be examined. You will be able to distinguish the roles of primary and secondary metabolites, identifying their ecological functions in plants. The various plant products of potential commercial interest will also be highlighted. Thereafter, the steps involved in the production of compounds from plant cell culture will be outlined and you will consider the medium components that limit cell division and stunts the exponential growth of plant cells.
Finally, you will study the concept of Biotransformation in plant cell cultures. The relevance of genetic transformations, the properties of plant cell bioreactors and the functionalities of bioreactors, will be explained. You will also see some case studies that feature the success of the implementation of the strategies involved in plant cell technology. This course will be of interest to anyone in the field of biology, genetic engineering, biotechnology, and any other related discipline. Why wait, start this course today!
