MICROPROPAGATION

Micropropagation is the process of formation of new plants from a small plants tissue culture technique .

Tissue culture technique involving the culturing of cells tissues and organ in suitable nutrient medium under aseptic condition in side suitable container .

The small segment of plant which  is taken for this culturing purpose is called explant.

Then culturing of explant result in formation of an undifferentiated mass of cells called as call us which later differentiated to form a large number of plants lets .

These newly formed plant lets are transferred to separated post to grow them in to plants .

This process of micropropagation using tissue culture technique is useful to producing various free plants disease free plant , homozygous diploid plants etc .

Examples are orchid ,carnation and other ornamental plants .
