Learn what tissue culture is, how it works, and why it is important for plant and animal research. Explore the history of tissue culture from its origins to its applications in biotechnology and medicine. Tissue culture produces clones, in which all product cells have the same genotype (unless affected by mutation during culture ) Tissue culture is defined as a technique used to grow cells, tissues, or organs in a controlled, sterile environment. It allows scientists to produce thousands of identical plants from a single parent plant, making it a powerful tool in plant propagation. This method is especially useful in agriculture as part of strategies for enhancement in food production, helping in the rapid multiplication of high-yielding and disease-resistant crops. Learn what tissue culture is in biology, how it works, and why it is important for plants and animals. Explore the different types, steps, and applications of tissue culture in agriculture, medicine, and conservation.
