Micropropagation is a method of rapid vegetative multiplication by cell, tissue, or organ culture. Thus, new plants are produced in a short duration using plant tissue culture. Major advantages of micropropagation are as follows:
(i) Besides production of genetically identical plants, micropropagation helps in the propagation of large numbers of plants in a short span of time.
(ii) The produced plants are identical to the mother plant.
(iii)Thereby, it results in the production of healthier plantlets, which exhibit better disease-resisting powers.
