Abstract

Plant tissue culture has been successfully integrated into plant transformation strategies. Meristem culture has become immensely popular as micro propagation technique for the rapid production of commercially viable plants at industrial level. Meristem culture is also significant for obtaining virus free plant and additionally, meristem culture in combination with other techniques is applied in plant improvement as in production of transgenic plants, plant germplasm storage, regeneration of quality planting material or seeds in association with aeroponic or hydroponic systems.
