Environmental Research Centre Organizes Scientific Lecture on Plant Tissue Culture Techniques
The Environmental Research Centre at the University of Technology organized a scientific lecture entitled “Plant Tissue Culture Techniques and Their Impact on Agricultural Development.”
The lecture was delivered by Lecturer Dr. Muayad Naseer Muslim, in the presence of faculty members, researchers, and those interested in modern agricultural technologies.
The lecture addressed the scientific and applied dimensions of plant tissue culture technology, considering it one of the most prominent biotechnology methods used in the development of modern agriculture. The lecturer explained how this technique enables the production of complete plants starting from cells or minute parts of the plant, within a sterile laboratory environment, which contributes to accelerating production, preserving good genetic traits, and overcoming the obstacles of traditional agriculture.
The lecturer touched on the advanced uses of this technology in the propagation of commercial crops, obtaining disease-free plants, and expanding agriculture to unsuitable areas, as well as the possibility of integrating it with genetic engineering to develop varieties resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
This lecture comes within the framework of the centre’s endeavour to disseminate scientific culture and activate the applied research role in facing contemporary agricultural and environmental challenges, in line with the university’s vision in supporting innovation and promoting sustainability.
