Question

In what ways do plants ordinarily reproduce asexually? What is the importance of totipotency in regard to tissue culture?

Answer 1

Totipotency is the process by which a single cell can develop such that all the differentiated cells of the plant. It plays an important role in tissue culture as a single can be cultured to form the complete organism.
