Protocol for Generating Arabidopsis thaliana Cell Suspension Cultures Under Different Light Conditions.

Plant cell suspension cultures (PCSCs) are in vitro-cultured cells that can divide indefinitely in a sterile growth medium. These PCSCs can be derived from various plant tissues, such as the root, stem, leaves, or seeds, and are maintained in a suitable culture medium containing nutrients, vitamins, hormones, and other essential components necessary for their growth. PCSCs have extensive applications in biotechnology, particularly in producing pharmaceutical and chemical compounds. This chapter presents a protocol for generating cell lines from Arabidopsis thaliana root callus under different light conditions, which can be used to investigate the effects of light on plant cell growth and development. The protocol described in this chapter is a valuable tool for researchers interested in utilizing PCSCs in their studies.
