Tissue culture is the technique of production of new plants from a cell or tissue of another plant in suitable conditions. The advantages of this method are that more number of plants can be produced in limited space and time. Plants with desirable characteristics such as disease resistance, strength etc can be produced. Since it does not involve seeds as such, the plant doesn't require to wait for the right conditions to germinate or start growing. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
