Tobacco BY-2 cells
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (September 2010) |
Tobacco BY-2 cells is a
cell line of plant cells, which was established from a callus induced on a seedling of Nicotiana tabacum cv. BY-2 (cultivar Bright Yellow - 2 of the tobacco plant
).
Overview
Tobacco BY-2 cells are nongreen, fast growing
molecular biologists as a model organism
.
They are used as model systems for
differentiation
.

- Pectin hypothesis for Tobacco BY-2 cells. Why chains? 2,4-D promotes the formation of a protective gelatinous polysaccharide in cell wall. This knowledge is based on four concentrations of 2,4-D and comparison morphology of the sixth day of cultivation. Thus, 2,4-D is a stress factor in any quantity and cell division is unregulated. Thus, the results of all studies on plant suspensions are distorted. Therefore, all results of the studies on plant suspensions can be scratched.
