Importance of Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is very important in biology due to its wide range of applications.
Both plant and animal tissues can be used for culturing. For eg., animal tissue culture helps in preserving an organ or tissue.
Plant tissue culture may be used for genetic modification of a plant or simply increase its yield. the cells of the plants can be genetically altered to produce plants with desirable characteristics.
This technique utilizes the plant’s ability to rejuvenate the tissues rapidly. It produces exact copies of itself known as clones.
It is a technique of quickly producing plants without any tubers, seeds or bulbs.
It also helps in the conservation of plant biodiversity by the production of endangered plants.
