Study Notes
Plant Propagation Methods
- Cloning refers to the multiplication of genetically identical individuals by asexual methods of regeneration from somatic tissues or organs.
Micropropagation
- Micropropagation requires aseptic conditions, a nutrient-rich medium, and controlled temperature and humidity.
- Micropropagation is a method of clonal propagation of plants using modern plant tissue culture methods.
- The main advantage of micropropagation is the rapid multiplication of plant stock material to produce many progeny plants.
Traditional Clonal Propagation
- Grafting is a traditional method used for clonal propagation of plants.
