Method for developing and/or reprogramming plant cellular objects

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for developing and/or reprogramming plant cellular objects comprising the steps: providing a reservoir containing a medium with plant cellular objects: providing a first set of compartments of sample fluid embedded in carrier fluid in a microfluidic conduit, wherein the carrier fluid is immiscible with the medium, wherein the first set's compartments of sample fluid each comprise medium and at least one plant cellular object: providing one or more first state triggers to the plant cellular objects in the microfluidic conduit for inducing a first state in the plant cellular objects of the first set of compartments: incubating the plant cellular objects of the first set of compartments in the microfluidic conduit for a time span sufficient for the plant cellular objects to transfer to the first state: selecting one or more first selection parameters indicative of the first state: identifying, within the first set of compartments in the microfluidic conduit, compartments according to the one or more first selection parameters and optionally assigning the compartments with respective state identifiers.
