Plant tissue culture is one of the most modern and important scientific and applied techniques. Plant tissue culture is a fundamental pillar of plant biotechnology, also known as Green Biotechnology. This technique contributes to achieving food security and reducing plant imports. This is accomplished by popularizing the idea of tissue culture and establishing specialized laboratories. Green biotechnology is essentially nucleus for the propagation of seedlings, agricultural and horticultural crops, economically viable medicinal and aromatic plants.
The unit was established in April 2022, under the patronage of Dr. Hassan El-Kalla, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Badr University in Cairo, in his belief in the role of plant tissue culture technology in advancing agricultural technology through the propagation and production of high-quality seedlings free of diseases. Also the development of strains capable of adapting to varying environmental and climatic conditions and preserving rare genetic assets.
Leading tissue culture technology in seedling cultivation and large-scale production to overcome the insufficiency of seedlings in the market and providing high quality seedlings with preserving outstanding germplasm
Examples:
We produce exceptional seedlings and conduct genetic fingerprinting to ensure they align with high-quality genetic origins
We strive to support the educational process for biotechnology students and others; while welcoming opportunities for collaboration in research and development to advance the field of plant biotechnology
We are ready to offer guidance and support in establishing a top-tier plant tissue culture laboratory, including preparing tissue culture media, sterilization, and cultivation techniques to produce high-quality seedlings
Offering training courses and workshops for students, researchers, and individuals interested in the following fields:
