Explain in detail about tissue culture ?
- Tissue culture is a propagation method used to produce plants under sterile conditions. This method uses plant parts (Explants) that have been sterilized before being placed in suitable suspension medium to grow.
- Plant propagation through tissue culture method is called micro propagation. It is called as invitro micro propagation, because, the explants are grown on medium and the genetic resources are conserved in the form of in vitro maintained tissues. Micro propagated plants are free from viruses and show increased productivity and yield.
