Plant callus is a mass of unorganized cells derived from plant tissue for use in biological research and biotechnology. In plant biology, callus cells are those cells that cover a plant wound. Callus formation is induced from plant tissues after surface sterilization and plating onto in vitro tissue culture medium. Plant growth regulators, such as auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins are supplemented into the medium to initiate callus formation or somatic embryogenesis.
Also called as underdifferentiated mass of a tissue
Plantlets are produced during embryogenesis
Basically plantlets are young or small clones, produced on the leaf margins or the aerial stems of another plant.
