Abstract
The teaching of plant tissue culture in Universities and Schools is hampered by 3 fundemental restrictions, contamination, slowness of response and lack of facilities.
Of these it is the contamination rate that generally stops teachers from carrying out tissue culture practicals.
A tissue culture protocol has recently been devised which demonstrates the principles of plant tissue culture in a reliable fast and effective manner using Brassica seedling explants but it is still at risk from contamination.
By the inclusion of a new biocide, PPM (Plant Preservative Mixture) at 1 ml l-1 contamination is largely overcome and reliability is greatly enhanced.
