A Review on Plant Tissue Culture, A Technique for Propagation and Conservation of Endangered Plant Species

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Plant tissue culture has been widely employed in area of agriculture, horticulture, forestry and plant breeding. It is an applied biotechnology used for mass propagation, virus elimination, secondary metabolite production and in-vitro cloning of plants. Recently, plant tissue culture has been used for the conservation of endangered plant species through short and medium term conservation also known as slow growth and cryopreservation also known as long term conservation. These methods had been successfully used to conserve plant species with recalcitrant seeds or dormant seeds and showed greater advantage over the conventional methods of conservation.
