Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cellsseparate from the organism. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar.

Tissue culture
Tissue culture is the process of culturing single line cells under sterile, controlled conditions, in vitro by exposing them to nutrients, hormones and specific amount of sunlight. There are different steps involved in the tissue culture process. These are the steps of initiation, sterilisation, shoot induction and root induction.
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.

i) Tissue culture is the process by which new plants can be grown by using small pieces of plants tissue (or cell) removed from the growing tips of a plant in a suitable growth medium is called tissue culture.
The production of plants by the method of tissue culture is also known as micropropagation.
ii)
* The new plants produced by tissue culture.
* They will be diseases free.
* They can grown even in very small areas also.
