Why is tissue culture better than layering?
Answers
Layering is similar to taking stem cuttings with one major difference -- roots are stimulated to form on the stem before, rather than after, it is severed from the parent plant. Layering often is a more reliable propagation method for plants that are difficult to root from a cutting.
ANSWER:
The tissue culture is better than layering because in tissue culture the whole new plant is produced from the previous plant. It is grown in test tube and can sustain the conditions more easily, because it is developed under sterile conditions.
EXPLANATION:
Tissue culture: Tissue culture is defined when there is whole new plant grown up by the old plant parts. It is grown in the test tube.
Layering: In layering, the plant part is bent and touched the ground and covered with some soil. By few months a new plant is grown.
