After having a mid-sem break for the whole 5th week, we learned about totipotency and embryology. Totipotency is the ability of a individual plant cell/tissue/organ to regenerate into a whole plant under right condition.
Then, we learned about pollination of flowering plants. It was very interesting because after pollination, we learned about zygotic embryogenesis that is very unique. Embryogenesis is the process that produces a plant embryo from a fertilised ovule by asymmetric cell division and the differentiation of undifferentiated cells into tissues and organs.
I am very interested in doing some tissue cultures by using those techniques of somatic and zygotic embryogenesis.
