Plant tissue culture is an ever-expanding field that has made a tremendous impact in the agricultural and horticultural scenes worldwide. The science behind the mass propagation of plants via plant cell, tissue, and organ culture has benefitted global food production, as evidenced by businesses generating billions of dollars annually as well as the increased number of large-scale plant tissue culture and biotechnology-based industries worldwide. Producing millions of plants yearly, these facilities develop protocols in-house or obtain them through the assistance of various research institutions and universities.

The domestic consumption of tissue cultured plants or their products has grown hand-in-hand with the awareness on the advantages plant tissue culture confer in terms of plantlet yield and quality. As such, the plant tissue culture field requires skilled workers in the years to come. In view of this, a joint venture has been initiated by SAGE University, India, and Quest International University, Malaysia, to organise a plant tissue culture course that aims to equip potential tissue culturists in the art of manipulating plants in vitro via a virtual training that will provide basic knowledge on plant tissue culture as well as advanced research techniques and skills for commercial purposes. The course, which will be held for four hours daily from 14-18 November 2022, will be handled by experienced plant tissue culture experts affiliated to both SAGE University Bhopal and SAGE University Indore as well as Quest International University.
