INTRODUCTION

Micropropagation a powerful tool for plant production


Micropropagation is a plant tissue culture technique used to produce
plantlets. It involves the aseptic culture of small tissue sections and
organs in vessels with defined culture media and control environmental
condition has become progressively more crucial for advancing scientific
knowledge and driving commercial innovation in recent years it is the
foundation on which all biotechnological research rests, because almost
are uses of plant biotechnology ultimately requires the successful culture
of plant cell ,tissue or organs this technique has many advantages over
conventional vegetative propagation . Eg. the fast propagation of a
substantial quantity of plants that are free from disease and highly
uniform. the effectiveness of micropropagation is influenced by a
combination of factor ,specially the makeup of the culture medium the
culture condition ,and the genotype of the plant .tissue culture ,also
referred to as a cell growth in vitro or sterile culture media its can play a
vital role in basic studies and applied studies essentially this term
broadly refers to the laboratory growth of plant cells ,tissues and organs
under control condition typically medium is employed for tissue culture
,named after the pioneering researchers murashige and skoog, who
developed it in collaboration with their colleagues in 1962(Gaurav et
al.,2015). In 1902 Haberlandt’s groundbreaking invention of cell culture
paved the way for modern plant biotechnology and his concept of
cultivating plant cells in an artificial medium has secured his place in
history as the “father of plant tissue culture ”. the field of plant tissue
culture has witnessed tremendous progress in various domains over the
past few years ,leading to its widespread implementation in agriculture
and industry. plant tissue culture involves the controlled, aseptic
cultivation of various plants components ,including cells, tissue, organs,
in a laboratory setting optimized for growth and development (Ahmad
,2013).Plant tissue culture is also employed in research by specialists in
genetics , biochemistry ,plant breeding ,plant pathology, and other fields
of scientific inquiry.plant tissues culture has also shown greater
efficiency in the production of secondary metabolites ,leading to its
adoption in the large -scale commercial production of valuable
compounds such as napthoquinone's pigments and shikonin. Plant
tissue culture has also been crucial in the development of alternative
sweeteners ,flavours enhancer ,natural food Coloring ,and medicinal
substances (Gaurav ,et al 2016).
