Microproagation is the propagation of plants by glowing plantlets in tissue culture, and then planting them out.
Whereas Somatic hybridization is a technique which allows the manipulation of cellular genomes by protoplast fusion. Its major contribution to plant breeding is in overcoming common crossing barriers among plant species and in organelle genetics and breeding.

Ans. Mass multiplication of plant material by regeneration of somatic tissues is called micro propagation or micro-cloning. It can be used for mass multiplication of crop plants which are difficult to propagate sexually or those vegetatively propagated species in which rate of multiplication is slow.
