Question

what do you understand by micropropagation? writes it's benefits.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Advantages. Micropropagation has a number of advantages over traditional plant propagation techniques: The main advantage of micropropagation is the production of many plants that are clones of each other. Micropropagation can be used to produce disease-free plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce many progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods.[1]

Micropropagation also referred as tissue culture is used to multiply plants such as those that have been genetically modified or bred through conventional plant breeding methods. It is also used to provide a sufficient number of plantlets for planting from a stock plant which does not produce seeds, or does not respond well to vegetative reproduction.

Cornell University botanist Frederick Campion Steward discovered and pioneered micropropagation and plant tissue culture in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[2].

Advantages Edit

• Micropropagation has a number of advantages over traditional plant propagation techniques:

• The main advantage of micropropagation is the production of many plants that are clones of each other.
• Micropropagation can be used to produce disease-free plants.
• It can have an extraordinarily high fecundity rate, producing thousands of propagules while conventional techniques might only produce a fraction of this number.
• It is the only viable method of regenerating genetically modified cells or cells after protoplast fusion.
• It is useful in multiplying plants which produce seeds in uneconomical amounts, or when plants are sterile and do not produce viable seeds or when seed cannot be stored (see recalcitrant seeds).
• Micropropagation often produces more robust plants, leading to accelerated growth compared to similar plants produced by conventional methods - like seeds or cuttings.
• Some plants with very small seeds, including most orchids, are most reliably grown from seed in sterile culture.
• A greater number of plants can be produced per square meter and the propagules can be stored longer and in a smaller area.
