Evaluation of Using Eicosapentaenoic Acid in Plant Tissue Culture Media

Article Preview

Abstract:

Biotechnology is name given to the methods and techniques that involve the use of living organisms like bacteria, yeast, plant cells or their parts or products as tools. Plant tissue culture techniques are essential to many types of academic inquiry, as well as to many applied aspects of plant science. Plant tissue culture techniques are also central to innovative areas of applied plant science, including plant biotechnology and agriculture. The omega-3 fatty acids are "essential" fatty acids because they are vital for normal metabolism and cannot be synthesized by the human body. Eicosapentaenoic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid. With this research we obtain the strong plants with benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids.
