plant tissue culture

Plant tissue culture is a method of growing new plants from small pieces of plant material, such as cells or tissues, in a controlled, sterile environment. Using nutrient-rich solutions and precise conditions, scientists can produce many identical plants rapidly. This technique helps conserve rare species, improve crop traits, and propagate plants efficiently. Essentially, it’s like cloning plants in a laboratory setting, allowing for large-scale production and genetic studies, while ensuring healthy, disease-free plants.
