Describe about Tissue culture? |
|
Answer» * Tissue culture helps us to produce more copies of same plant with desired characters like big fruits, more fruits, colourful flowers, disease resistance etc.* Tissue culture helps us to produce plants which do not depend on seasonal changes of that area for particular yield.* As seedlings are made available, planting is possible all through the year.* All the plants developed by tissue culture are uniform at size, shape and their yield. They are exact clones which resemble each other.* Time taken to obtain mature crop is very less.* Crops are almost pest and disease resistant.* Tissue culture techniques are cost effective. What is advantage of tissue culture Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation. Different techniques in plant tissue culture may offer certain advantages over traditional methods of propagation, including:The production of exact copies of plants that produce particularly good flowers, fruits, or have other desirable traits.To quickly produce mature plants.The production of multiples of plants in the absence of seeds or necessary pollinators to produce seeds.The regeneration of whole plants from plant cells that have been genetically modified.The production of plants in sterile containers that allows them to be moved with greatly reduced chances of transmitting diseases, pests, and pathogens.The production of plants from seeds that otherwise have very low chances of germinating and growing, i.e.: orchids and Nepenthes.To clear particular plants of viral and other infections and to quickly multiply these plants as \'cleaned stock\' for horticulture and agriculture. |
