My personal experience...

I have to admit that i never used the tools that i learnt for the past 3 days during the Web 2.0 training workshop. To my personal experience as a Web 2.0 user, i think it's more easier for me to share my opinions with others using the internet. Moreover, i believe that Web 2.0 is an easy and a good way of communication with people all over the world.We can upload any image we want and also we can upload any video we want that we see it suitable for the subject we want to talk about. In addition to that, Web 2.0 allows us to share our ideas with others and lets us communicate and send emails like  igoogle. And it allows me to see people's opinion about certain topics that i am interested in. It made my life easier because i can b updated with the latest news i want from any place... But after these few days of training I can say that I can use the tools efficiently..
A big thank you to the trainers and CTA for this golden opportunity...

Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation. Different techniques in plant tissue culture may offer certain advantages over traditional methods of propagation, including:

• The production of exact copies of plants that produce particularly good flowers, fruits, or have other desirable traits.
• To quickly produce mature plants.
• The production of multiples of plants in the absence of seeds or necessary pollinators to produce seeds.
• The regeneration of whole plants from plant cells that have been genetically modified.
• The production of plants in sterile containers that allows them to be moved with greatly reduced chances of transmitting diseases, pests, and pathogens.
• The production of plants from seeds that otherwise have very low chances of germinating and growing, i.e.: orchids and nepenthes.
• To clean particular plants of viral and other infections and to quickly multiply these plants as 'cleaned stock' for horticulture and agriculture.
