Healthy plants are recovered from diseased plant through process called as Meristems culture.
Explanation:
In this methodology, the plant infected with the disease is taken and the meristems of the plant are observed. The plants have two meristems namely apical meristems as well as auxiliary meristems. In a disease infected plant, only the meristems region remains unaffected by the disease.
This region is removed from the diseased plant and is grown in culture medium in in-vitro condition and thus healthy plant is produced.
