What is Plant Tissue Culture?
Plant Tissue Culture is a technique by which Plants are grown in the laboratory (in vitro) on synthetic (man-made) nutrient media in a suitable environment. The Plants produced via this technique would share the same characteristics as the mother Plant. This Culture technique acts as a valuable tool for both scientific investigation and practical applications.
Plant Tissue Culture
Plant Tissue Culture became a new addition to the Plant breeding strategies that emerged around the 1950s. Tissue Culture emerged as a significant advancement in breeding methods when traditional breeding techniques failed to meet the demands of crops. It utilizes Plant components to produce several clones of the original Plant quickly. The method takes advantage of a Plant’s totipotency, which allows any cell from any section of the Plant to be used to create a brand-new Plant.
