Tissue Culture Laboratory
Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory at ICAR- IISR is a dedicated facility for the in vitro culture and micro‑propagation of key spice crops – black pepper, ginger, turmeric, vanilla, and others. The lab operates under strictly aseptic conditions to ensure successful initiation and maintenance of cultures.
Key Features:
- Aseptic Environment: Complete sterilization and laminar‑flow systems keep contamination at bay throughout the culture cycle.
- Incubation Facility: Precise temperature and light control support optimal growth and differentiation of plantlets.
- Disease‑Free Production: Protocols are geared toward generating high‑quality, pathogen‑free planting materials of major spices.
- Human‑Resource Development: Hands‑on training modules for students and professionals in plant tissue‑culture techniques.
By integrating cutting‑edge infrastructure with a focus on research and training, the laboratory meets the growing demand for in vitro conservation of spice germplasm and contributes to crop‑improvement and production of clean planting materials of spices.
