Tissue culture is a process that involves exposing plant tissue to a specific regimen of nutrients, hormones, and light under sterile, in vitro conditions to produce many new plants, each a clone of the original mother plant, over a very short period of time.
These techniques have certain advantages over traditional methods of propagation. They produce exact copies of plants required that have desirable traits. They produce mature plants quickly.
In this process the growth medium or culture solution is very important as, it is used for growing plant tissue because it contains various plant nutrients in the form of 'jelly' known as agar and plant hormones which are necessary for the growth of plant.
Isolation and regeneration of plant from the protoplasts in vitro has opened up a new avenue in various fields of plant breeding and in plant biotechnology.
This technique has been mainly used for introgressing many useful criteria from the wild genotype to cultivated crop variety. Success has been achieved obtaining somatic hybrid plants between sexually compatible and incompatible plants.
