Master Plant Biotechnologist interested in imparting knowledge on biology and medicine.


Aishwarya G Iyer

This course gives information about different set of techniques used to adapt plants for specific needs or opportunities. It is a course that entails applying technology on life ( plants ) and is a vast field that entails producing new products in a larger faster way , deviating from the conventional way of doing the same. It can be divided into several systems depending on what each of these entails.

English

Plant Biotechnology (GATE)

This video explains about totipotency and some experiments conducted by famous scientists to prove totipotency. It also gives information on the importance of totipotency in Plant Science.

Totipotency

In this video , I have explained about five recognized groups of plant hormones : Auxins , gibberellins , cytokinins , abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene. It also describes a bit about Florigen (flowering hormone).

Plant Growth Regulators and Elicitors

This video gives an introduction about plant tissue culture , hormones used in plant tissue culture and three important aspects in in-vitro culture.

Plant Tissue Culture ( Part 1)

In this video , I have briefly talked about different methods of Plant tissue culture - A)In vitro growth : callus and suspension cultures B)Type of explant - Single cell culture.

Plant Tissue Culture (Part 2)

In this video , I have talked about shoot and root cultures , somatic embryogenesis culture , establishment in the field , endosperm culture & meristem culture.

Plant Tissue Culture ( Part 3)

This video explains about Anther culture and haploid production , embryo culture , ovule culture and ovary culture.

Plant tissue culture ( Part 4 )

This video describes about Regeneration of plantlets , protoplast culture & somatic hybridisation.

Plant tissue culture (Part 5)

This video explains about micro-propagation.

Micro-propagation

This video explains about artificial seeds : Definition, procedure , advantages and disadvantages & potential importance of artificial seeds.

Artificial seeds

This video explains about some of the major applications in Plant Tissue culture - 1) Rapid clonal propagation , 2) Soma clonal variation , 3) transgenic plants , 4) Induction and selection of mutations & 5) Resistance to weedicides.

Practical Applications of Plant Tissue culture

This video explains about the Dicotyledonous structures and stems which plays a very important role in plant growth , introduction to meristems , Growth correlation , apical dominance & Acid Growth.

Plant Growth ( Part 1 )

This video describes about the different tropisms - Phototropism and gravitropism/geotropism.

Plant Growth (Part 2)

This video describes about Growth kinetics - Lag phase , Log phase , decreasing growth rate , stead state ; Sigmoid curve/Grand period curve ; Measurements of growth - Direct method , Horizontal microscope , Arc auxanometer & Pffefer's auxanometer.

Plant Growth Kinetics ( part 3 )

In this lesson , I have talked about 7 aspects in secondary metabolite production process , advantages and disadvantages of the secondary metabolite production.

Secondary metabolites ( Part 1 )

In this lesson , I have talked about the applications of secondary metabolites in detail and I have also listed out few selective metabolites which is very important commercially.

Secondary metabolites ( Part 2 )

In this lesson , I have explained the first two aspects involved in the secondary metabolites production in detail i.e 1) Selection of cell lines for high yield of secondary metabolites. 2) Large scale cultivation of plant cells.
I will be explaining the remaining aspects in detail on my next video.

Secondary metabolites ( Part 3 )

This lesson explains about the three different culture systems widely used in Large scale (Mass) cultivation of plant cells :- Free-cell suspension culture , Immobilized cell culture and two phase system culture.

Secondary metabolites ( Part 4 )

In this video , I have talked about hairy root culture - introduction , production of hairy root culture in vivo , induction of hairy root culture in vitro , applications and advantages ,  Bioreactors for hairy root culture & secondary metabolites produced in root culture.

Hairy Root Culture

This video briefly explains about the third aspect in secondary metabolite production process i.e Medium composition and effect of nutrients.

Secondary metabolites production (Part 5)

This video briefly describes about the fourth aspect in secondary metabolite production process i.e Elicitor-induced production of secondary metabolites.

Secondary metabolites production ( Part 6 )

This video briefly describes about the fifth aspect of secondary metabolite production process i.e Effect of environmental factors.

Secondary metabolites production (part 7)

This video briefly describes about the sixth and seventh aspect in secondary metabolite production process - Biotransformation using plant cell cultures & Secondary metabolite release and analysis.

Secondary metabolites production ( part 8 )

This video briefly explains about plant products of industrial importance.

Plant products of Industrial Importance

In this video , I have discussed few MCQs related to the lessons I have made in this course. I would request the viewers to go through the lessons first and then start with the MCQs as it would be easier to figure out the right answer.

Plant Biotechnology - GATE MCQs - Part 1

In this video , I have continued with the discussion of MCQs - Plant biotechnology. I request the viewers to go through the lessons first and then proceed with the MCQs for better understanding.
