Tissue Culture: Growing Identical Cells for Plant Breeding and Medical Research

Tissue culture involves growing cells or tissues in a nutrient medium, useful for cloning plants and medical research. The process includes sterilizing plant samples, growing them into calluses, and using hormones to develop plantlets. Applications include cloning rare species, GM plants, and medical research like vaccine production and cancer studies. Tissue culture offers potential for future organ growth for transplants.
