Advantages of tissue culture
*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.
