plant cell culture

Plant cell culture is a laboratory technique that involves growing plant cells, tissues, or organs in a controlled environment outside the plant. Using a nutrient-rich solution and sterile conditions, scientists can induce these cells to grow, divide, and develop into new plants. This method allows for rapid multiplication of desirable plant varieties, preservation of rare species, and production of valuable compounds like medicines and flavors. It relies on understanding and manipulating the cells' growth processes to produce healthy, uniform plants efficiently.
