Plant tissue culturing techniques have become especially important in the agricultural community over the past 10 years. During this time period, plant tissue culture has effectively moved from the confines of small laboratories and has taken its place among some of the more mainstream, broad-scale techniques employed by the agriculture industry.
Plant tissue culture, more technically known as micropropagation, can be broadly defined as a collection of methods used to grow large numbers of plant cells, in vitro, in an aseptic and closely controlled environment. therefore, can be used to produce a large number of plants that are genetically identical to a parent plant, as well as to one another.
