BY Arabic Language

Tissue culture

Tissue culture is also called in vitro propagation. There are three kinds of Tissue culture:

1- Embryo culture (Shoot tips)

2- Meristematic tissues (Buds)

3- Highly differentiated somatic tissues (Leaf, stem, inflorescence and root sections).

This technique has many advantages:

1- Large-scale multiplication.

2- No seasonal effect because plants can be multiplied under controlled (laboratory and greenhouse) conditions.

3- Propagation of healthy selected female cultivars, which are disease-and pest-free.

4- Propagation of males having superior pollen.

5- Economical, easy and fast exchange between countries.

6- The best way for large-scale production.
