The tissue culture is the incubation of cells (tissue) separate from a organism. This term normally is utilized in a context of beast tissue culture, when the other specific term plant tissue culture is used for plants.

Plant Tissue Culture
Laboratory protocol for micropropagation from stem tip, node, meristem, embryo or seed. Includes forum maintained by the National Health Museum, Washington, DC.

Plant Tissue Culture Information Exchange
Global resource for researchers, teachers and producers. Includes links to equipment, media, commercial micropropagation labs, and research reports including chimeral segregation and somatic embryogenesis, maintained by the Texas A and M Horticulture program, in College Station.

National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation
NCGRP conserves genebanks for species diversity of crops and animals important to agriculture, landscapes and environmental sustainability, beyond seed storage using cryogenics. Serves as repository for semen, graftable plant buds or in vitro plantlets, for the US Department of Agriculture in Fort Collins, Colorado.

UNE Horticultural Science and Plant Biotechnology Group
Books, video list and guide from 1996, enabling small scale use of micropropagation, with simple apparatus and media. Includes operational steps to clone plants, acclimatisation and potting advice from the University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales.

Tissue Culture Protocols
Guides in support sales of media, growth regulators, antibiotics and sterilization reagents from Sigma-Aldrich Co.

International Association for Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology
Historical introduction, links to congresses, contacts for members and the secretariate in Beijing, China.

Renfroe's Tips on Getting Started in Tissue Culture
Introduction to the technique, with suggested reading and suppliers, from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia.

American Chestnut Research and Restoration
Project using microprogation to contribute to conservation of the tree, Castanea dentata, and study resistance to blight, leaf spot and stem canker, possibly aiding transgenic modification, at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, New York.
