What is Clonal propagation?

Or
Multiplication of genetically identical copies of a cultivar by asexual reproduction is called clonal propogation or cloning or micro propogation.
Some Special Points:-
➨ All the cells in culture are dernved irom a single explant by mitotic division.
➨ All plantlets regenerate from a culture generally, have the same genotype and consirute a clone.
➨ These plantlets can be used for rapid clonal propogation of superior lines like oil palm.
➨ Two common types of micropropogation are
- (a) Multiple shootlet production
- (b) Somatic embryogenesis
