Basrah University organizes a training course on the use of plant tissue culture technology in plant propagation.
The course aimed to introduce technology and modern technologies related to it.
Dr. Aqil Abboud Sehim and Dr. Ahmed Zayer Rasan, present in the course, and touched on the most important uses in improving and propagating plants and producing strains tolerant to different stresses, as well as gene transfer techniques and producing plants tolerant to salinity and different stresses.
The course concluded the possibility of harnessing these technologies in multiplying different types of economic plants, producing vital and industrial compounds, and supplying the markets with new types of plants, as well as producing new strains that are suitable for extreme climatic conditions.
The course recommended developing technology and laboratories, contracting and coordinating with interested parties, and supplementing studies and research in this field to produce good numbers of plants to compensate for the shortfall and increase production.
