Abstract
The present disclosure provides materials and methods relating to bioprinting. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions, systems, and methods for 3D bioprinting plant cells according to pre-determined spatiotemporal patterns to facilitate the high-throughput regeneration of plants having reduced variability.
Claims24
A matrix comprising a plurality of bioprinted plant cells, wherein the plurality of bioprinted plant cells are deposited in the matrix according to a pre-determined spatial pattern.
A system for bioprinting plant cells, the system comprising:
- a plurality of plant cells;
- a matrix whereupon the plurality of plant cells are deposited;
- and
- a bioprinting device, wherein the bioprinting device deposits the plurality of plant cells in the matrix according to a set of pre-determined instructions.
A method of producing a plant callus, the method comprising:
- bioprinting a plurality of plant cells in a matrix;
- and
- culturing the bioprinted plant cells in the matrix to induce the formation of a callus.
