Micropropagation: Is the large-scale production of

Micropropagation is the large-scale production of plant clones in a laboratory using tissue culture techniques. Learn the six stages of micropropagation, the five methods of micropropagation, and the advantages and disadvantages of this technique. Micropropagation Micropropagation is a technique used in plant biology to rapidly multiply plants through in vitro culture of plant tissues or cells under sterile conditions, typically in a nutrient-rich medium. This method allows for the production of large numbers of genetically identical plants from a single parent plant, ensuring uniformity and consistency in the propagated plants. Micropropagation involves several key steps: selecting and preparing plant material, inducing shoot and ... Aseptic method of clonal propagation is called as Micropropagation and it offer the advantage of large number of true-to-type plantlets can be produced with relatively short time and space from a single individual. Micropropagation Micropropagation is the first and major commercial application of tissue culture techniques. It is currently used for a large variety of herbaceous and woody plant species including forest trees, through enhanced axillary bud formation, organogenesis, and/or somatic embryogenesis. In vitro propagation of pathogen-free, elite, selected, or recalcitrant genotypes is carried out in four distinct stages: (1) explant establishment stage, (2) regeneration and proliferation stage ...
