Why dry heat or wet heat sterilisation methods cannot be used for the sterilisation of explants??Explain.

Dear Student,
The explant is the a piece of tissue or cells which is transfers from the organism to the nutrient medium where it can grow up to an individual organism. As explants are the living material , dry or wet heat sterilisation will lead to the damage or even death of the cells.
It can be sterilized by different types of disinfectants, like calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
Regards.
