1
Q
What is micropropagation
A
A technique of plant cloning via tissue culture
2
Q
What does tissue culture involve
A
The growth of plant tissues in a sterile medium enriched with hormones to stimulate cell growth and cell division
3
Q
What are the applications of micropropagation
A
- Enables large-scale propagation of rare plants
- Produces disease free plants
- Produces seedless plants
4
Q
What are advantages of micropropagation
A

- Produces genetically identical plants
5
Q
What are disadvantages of micropropagation
A
- Vulnerable to disease and environmental changes
- Expensive and requires skilled technicians
- Not feasible on a small scale
