Question

uses of plant tissues culture

Answer 1

 Applications include:

micropropagation using meristem and shoot culture to produce large numbers of identical individuals

screening programmes of cells, rather than plants for advantageous characters

large-scale growth of plant cells in liquid culture as a source of secondary products

crossing distantly related species by protoplast fusion and regeneration of the novel hybrid

production of dihaploid plants from haploid cultures to achieve homozygous lines more rapidly in breeding programmes

as a tissue for transformation, followed by either short-term testing of genetic constructs or regeneration of transgenic plants

removal of viruses by propagation from meristematic tissues
