micropropagation

What are the Steps Involved in Micropropagation?


The process of micropropagation typically involves several steps:
Selection and Preparation of Explants: Small tissue samples are taken from the parent plant. These explants are usually sterilized to remove any microorganisms.
Initiation of Culture: The explants are placed on a nutrient medium that supports their growth. This medium contains essential nutrients, hormones, and vitamins.
Multiplication: The explants grow and multiply, forming a mass of tissue known as a callus. This callus can be subdivided and cultured further to produce more plantlets.
Rooting and Acclimatization: The plantlets are transferred to a medium that encourages root development. Once they have developed roots, they are moved to soil and acclimatized to normal growing conditions.
