In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Methods of Micro-Propagation 2. Stages of Micro-Propagation 3. Advantages 4. Commercial Uses. Multiplication of genetically identical copies of a cultivar by asexual reproduction is called clonal propagation. The in vivo clonal propagation is often difficult, expensive and even unsuccessful. Tissue culture method offers an alternative way of clonal propagation which is popularly [...]

The below mentioned article provides a study note on organogenesis. In plant tissue culture, organogenesis is a process of differentiation by which plant organs like roots, shoots, buds etc. are formed from the unusual points of origin of an organized explants where a preformed meristem is lacking. Plant development through organogenesis is the formation of organs either de novo or [...]
