In this module, the relevance and possible applications of Plant Cell Technology in industries are discussed. You will study the history of plant cell culture, its basis and the factors affecting plant cell cultures. The anatomy of plant cells, their properties and the processes involved in photosynthesis and photorespiration will also be highlighted.

This module features the different forms of Cultures which are currently in use and their applications in Plant Biotechnology. You will also learn about the nutritional requirements of plant cells as well as the properties of Organogenesis, Regeneration and Micropropagation.

In this module, the stages of Embryogenesis and the applications of Protoplast Culture are explained. You will also study the significance of Plant Metabolism and the commercial applications of Plant Cell Technology.

This assessment enables you to review your learning so you can determine your knowledge and understanding of the first three modules of the course.

This module outlines the processes involved in Biotransformation and the applications of Plant Cell Immobilization. You will also understand the relevance of genetic variations in the cultivation of plant cells and the processes involved in Genetic Transformations.

In this module, you will learn about the factors that influence the design of Plant Cell Bioreactors as well as their various modes of operation. Some case studies that feature the success of the implementation of the strategies involved in plant cell technology are also discussed.

In this module, you will learn about the requirements for Plant Cell Cultivation and the processes involved in the production of compounds from Plant Cell Culture. You will see the effects of culture conditions on plant cells as well as the conditions that are essential for the cessation of exponential plant growth.

This assessment enables you to review your learning so you can determine your knowledge and understanding of the last four modules of the course.
