| Abstract: | |
| Tissue culture is an important technique required for the production of disease- free, high quality planting material and the rapid production of many clonally identical plantlets. The production of elite variety to produce identical plants capable of higher yield to feed the growing population of the world and Pakistan`s need. This is a useful technique as Pakistan's economy is agricultural based | |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
| With Temporary Immersion System(TIS), the process can be run with less labor & will help to reduce the costs & will make the process cost effective. Also, tissue culture techniques can be used to introduce gene of entrusts to banana plant for disease resistance & resilience to environmental changes. | |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
| Farmer in underdeveloped countries can benefit from this method as it produced ailment free, genetical advanced and land restoring flora ensuring in excessive yield and eradication of soil erosion. It promotes the industrialization and inspire the young generation to agricultural and medical fields. | |
| How will the solution works | |
| TIS system generates novel stable genotypes, genetic variability spurred on by tissue culture may be employed as a reservoir of variability. It can improve crop varieties. Production of disease-free plants (virus), genetic transformation, production of secondary metabolites and production of varieties tolerant to salinity, drought and heat stresses are one of the benefits of tissue culture. Banana yields will be increased across the country and traditional farming will be increased by 5 times. | |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
| As we'll be using the TIS system, which uses fluid development media and high gas trade conditions for brief periods and at normal spans. Strikingly, TIS is a strategy in fluid culture technique that is proposed to offer additional benefits in large scale manufacturing frameworks with high results. | |
