production of healthy or diseased-free plants.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micropropagation, embryo culture, protoplast isolation and utilization, and in vitro mutagenesis are some of the tools ornamental plant breeders can use.

Detailed explanation-2: -The application of the tissue culture method is not used to change the ploidy of plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Disadvantages of Tissue Culture Tissue Culture can require more labor and cost more money. There is a chance that the propagated plants will be less resilient to diseases due to the type of environment they are grown in.
