Micropropagation Example
A few of the examples of Micropropagation are as follows:
- Plants such as palm, plantain, banana, jojoba, pineapple, rubber tree, cassava, yam, sweet potato, tomato, pine, date, brinjal, etc have been produced using this method.
- An example of micropropagation is the commercial production of different orchids. This technique has been exploited for the production of different types of orchids worldwide.
Micropropagation
Micropropagation is an important process for the propagation of plants and in this method, in vitro development of plant cells, tissues, or organs is done under controlled conditions. There are various methods of micropropagation and each has its specific advantages and applications. It is a very good alternative to traditional propagation methods and it ensures the production of genetically identical and disease-free plants.
This method is useful for the production of plants that are infected with viruses or bacteria and cannot produce good yields that are free from diseases, such as plants that don’t produce seeds, etc. This method is widely used in the agriculture and horticulture industries and is very efficient.
