Micropropagation, popularly known as "Tissue Culture", is a technique
to propagate plants "in Vitro" in a laboratory. Select tissues from
the plants are cultured on a nutrient rich medium, providing stimulus
for the |
tissue to multiply, thus giving multiple
plants from a single mother Tissue / Plant. The main advantage is that
a large number of plants can be propagated from single Plant / Tissue
at a fast rate. Being a vegetative / cloning technique, the progeny
are identical to the mother plant. Selective breeding, development of
desirable characters / traits such as high yield, disease resistance
etc. are also possible thru' micropropagation. Ideal for intensive Plant
Production.
