Plant Cloning

Plant cloning is a method of creating exact genetic copies of a plant. This process often involves taking a small piece of a plant, such as a leaf, stem, or root, and encouraging it to grow roots and develop into a new, independent plant. Cloning ensures that the new plant has the same characteristics as the original, which is useful for preserving desirable traits like fruit quality or disease resistance. Techniques like tissue culture or cuttings are commonly used, enabling rapid multiplication of plants without the need for seeds.
