BANANA TISSUE CULTURE

Tissue culture is a method of growing plants using a small part, a single cell, or a group of cells in a controlled and clean environment, like a test tube. It's a modern way of breeding plants that started around the 1950s. Since regular breeding methods couldn't keep up with the demand for crops, tissue culture became a big step forward in plant breeding. It takes a part of a plant and makes many copies quickly. It works because plant cells have the amazing ability to become a whole new plant, no matter where they come from in the original plant.

Advantages of Tissue Culture?

• Plants are just like the mother plant
• The new plants are free from pests and diseases
• All the plants grow the same way, which increases the produce
• The crops grow faster, and we can use the land efficiently, even in places with small farms
• We can plant the seedlings all year round
• The crops can be harvested twice in a short time, which saves money
• Harvesting is not spread out over time
