Probably not. Seeds are live plants enclosed in several layers of protection to make them transportable and to avoid drying out. There are two reasons seeds don't germinate: (1) they are viable (still alive), but it's difficult to break dormancy -- to "wake up" the plant inside the seed and get it to start growing, and (2) the plant tissue inside the seed has died. Seeds that have been stored a long time usually don't germinate because of (2).
Tissue culture requires tissue that is alive. The live embryo is removed from the seed and placed on sterile media containing nutrients and hormones. The exact composition varies depend on the plant species / cultivar you are working with.
Tissue culture is useful as a last resort for breaking seed dormancy, but if the problem is that the plant tissue inside the seed has died, it will be no help.
