Plant Tissue Culture
The Tissue Culture technology provides a 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
