Course description

Plant tissue culture and vegetative propagation are essential techniques in plant biotechnology and agriculture. Plant tissue culture is a laboratory-based method that involves growing plant cells, tissues, or organs in a sterile environment using nutrient media. It is widely used for micropropagation, genetic modification, and the conservation of rare or endangered plant species. Vegetative propagation, on the other hand, is a natural or artificial method of plant reproduction that involves using plant parts such as stems, roots, or leaves to generate new plants. Techniques like grafting, cutting, layering, and budding are commonly employed in horticulture and commercial plant production. Both approaches play a crucial role in improving crop yield, maintaining genetic uniformity, and producing disease-free plants on a large scale.
