Plant stem cells are the cells that are located in meristems and are kept in a state of undifferentiation. Plant stem cell possesses lower vacuolization, higher mitochondrial activity, more genetic stability and stronger self-renewal capacity compared with calli. Plant stem cell culture has a wide application in pharmaceutical, functional food as well as cosmetic industries. Here we describe the procedure of induction, isolation and identification of plant stem cells, to provide a reference for further research in this field.
植物干细胞位于分生组织,是处于未分化状态的细胞,液泡化程度低,具有较高的线粒体活性,遗传稳定,具有很强的自我更新和再生能力。植物干细胞培养在下游制药和功能性食品以及化妆品行业具有广泛的应用潜质。文中综述了植物干细胞的基本培养技术、鉴别技术,为该领域的深入研究提供参考。.
