Hello readers,
For this week entry, the first thing that we were asked to do is playing a game! What kind of game? Of course a game that related to cell division cycle. It was an exciting game and quite releasing my stress. As u enter to play the game, the first thing is it gave you a few descriptions with information about cell division cycle. The controlling cell division cycle is the CDK & cyclin partner. It's really anxious when i was been given 10 seconds to answer the question before the cell been destroyed. Other than that, I get some useful knowledge as well as i gained joyfulness while studying.
Topic 6: Plant Cell and Totipotency
Honestly, my interest to study is more towards the animal & viruses compared to plants. Even until now i have no idea why i need to study about plant? Why is it important to my life? Then i remembered before this i have try to plant a few type of plants that never grown up. I curious why. I tried a few other ways to make the plants grow but nothing happened. What else did i do not do, did i wrongly do? What is the suitable condition and medium that needed for my plants? Why this plant grown up but why this plant died? When i asked my mom, same thing happened. I actually indirectly learnt about plants. Then i realized,
"Things that i hate the most is things that i needed the most."Why plant tissue culture is easy compared to animal cloning?
http://www.answers.com/Q/Why_cloning_plant_is_easier_than_cloning_animalsThis website has clearly make me understood that:
"Plants are already adapted to either sexual or asexual reproduction (asexual reproduction in the case of plants is called vegetative propagation) and it is not unusual for plants to create clones of themselves, therefore it is not difficult to get this to happen in the laboratory, whereas animals are not adapted to asexual reproduction, and do not normally produce clones."There are a few methods of tissue culture:
- The picture's below is a concept map drawn by myself accourding to the lecture in the class about the tissue culture
In the lecture beside the notes given in the putrablast, it has been said that the plant that undergoes tissue culture is under tremendous stress. This is because they were force to form embryo to reproduce. Wow, plants also have pressure state.
Topic 7: Pollination and Embryo Development
Pollination is the topic that chosen by my Trainee Scientist Program's Group. Therefore, I'm going to relate this topic with our group's planning about the program. The video of pollination that posted on the putrablast was really useful as we make as a reference for us to build up our model of cross & self pollination and also pollinating agents involved.

Dear Content Owner,
ReplyDeleteThe National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003., funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Government of India. The primary objective was to provide e-learning through free online web and video courses and to achieve the three cardinal principles of Education Policy viz., access, equity and quality as a non-profit educational initiative. Website is nptel.ac.in.
The course "Plant cell bioprocessing" is being offered under the NPTEL programme. As part of the lectures delivered, we would like to use the images in your blog. The source of the images has also been acknowledged in the videos and the content is used for a purely non-profit educational purpose. The course will be offered on swayam.gov.in, where enrollment is free and archived on nptel.ac.in, where too users can access the same. We request for your approval to use the images listed below.
