micropropagation
Micropropagation is a technique used to grow large numbers of plants from a small piece of plant tissue in a controlled, sterile environment. It involves taking a tiny sample—like a leaf or root segment—and encouraging it to develop into an entirely new plant through a series of carefully managed steps, such as sterilization, nutrient supplementation, and growth hormone application. This method enables rapid, uniform production of healthy plants, making it valuable for agriculture, horticulture, and conservation efforts. It allows for the efficient multiplication of desirable plant varieties while maintaining genetic consistency.
