Question

Scientist who contributed to the plant tissue culture?

Answer 1

1964-R.B.Parks and J.Biggins--discovery and isolation of quantasomes in chloroplasts

1915-R.M.Willstatler---a... noble prize for isolating chlorophyll and giving its detailed structure.

1898 ES.G.Nawaschin---discovered double fertilisation in angiosperms

1983 Barbara McClintok--discovery of jumping genes especially in maize,also called as transposomes.awarded nobel prize

1988 J.Deisenhoffer,Robert Huber and Hartmut Michel--photosynthesis for determination of three dimensionsl structure of a photosynthetic reaction centre.awarded noble prize...

Taga O.B. ako, 2A...eto ung mga sagot, kung unti palang eto para sayo, research mo sa google ung mga pangalan sa taas... :)

Answer 2

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken.. I think its both Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden.. Not sure for the spelling though..

Answer 3

The tissue culture problem was suggested as soon as 1838 by Schleiden and Schwann's cell theory. The first experimental approach was vainly tried by Haberlandt in 1902.

Following Carrel's success with animal cells, encouraging results were obtained on plants tissues by Gautheret in 1934 and the problem was definitely solved in 1939, independently by Gautheret, Nobécourt and White.

The progress was slow because this new field interested only a few people. However in 1954 the principal chapters of this subject were already opened: Tissue culture, cell culture, improving of nutrients, especially of growth substances, expertness of organ formation and vegetative propagation, attempts to obtain secondary products and application to pathological problems.

Later, in 1966 the androgenesis was initiated by Guha and Maheshwari, while Küster's pioneer work on protoplast fusion was exhumed and brought about innumerable investigations.

Finally, for the past ten years plant tissue culture has truly exploded and now more than ten thousand people are engaged in this field: International Congress held in July 1982 at Lake Yamanaka, Japan is evidence for this effusive development.

Answer 4

Some good answers. I visit http://www.planttissueculture.co.uk/ as I am new to the subject.
