Question

Mention any two advantage of micropropagation technique.Write how its process is carried out in the laboratory,Name any two important food plants grown commercially by this method​

Answer 1

HI

Micro-propagation is the technique of multiple production of plants in-vitro. It is used for plants that do not produce seeds or respond to normal vegetable reproduction. The process includes many steps -- stock plant care, explants selection and sterilization, media manipulation to obtain proliferation, rooting, acclimatization and growing of liners. 

1. Requires relatively small growing space.

2. The technique of micropropagation is applied with the objective of enhancing the rate of multiplication. Through tissue culture over a million plants can be grown from a small, even microscopic, piece of plant tissue within 12 months.

3. Shoot multiplication usually has a short cycle (2-6 weeks) and each cycle results in logarithmic increase in number of shoots.

4. Tissue culture gives propagules such as minitubers or microcorms for plant multiplication throughout the irrespective of the season.

5. Pathogen free plants can be raised and maintained economically.
