The Tissue Culture technology provides unique opportunity to rapidly multiply the elite types in vegetative propagated plants. A whole plant can be regenerated from a small tissue in a suitable culture medium under controlled environment. The plantlets so produced are called tissue culture raised plants. These plantlets are a true copy of the mother plant and show characteristics identical to the mother plant.
Advantages of Tissue Culture raised plants:
. Disease free planting material
. Uniform growth & true to type plants
. Increase productivity
. Less field mortality
. Less harvesting period
. Round the year availability
