• Unit 1: Introduction to Plant Tissue Culture
  • Why it matters: Explains historical milestones (e.g., White’s nutrient medium, 1934) and economic impact of in vitro techniques (e.g., 30% cost savings in banana propagation).
  • Exam focus: 50% of TEE questions on sterilization protocols (e.g., HgCl₂ vs. NaOCl concentrations) and explant types (e.g., shoot tips vs. meristems).
• Unit 3: Micropropagation Techniques
  • Why it matters: Details YCMOU-recommended media (e.g., MS + 1 mg/L BAP for shoot induction) with step-by-step lab protocols for Dendrobium and Orchid cultures.
  • Exam focus: 40% of CA questions on growth regulator ratios (e.g., 2,4-D:Kinetin 1:0.5 for callus induction).
