Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Advantages of Micropropagation: It ensures true to type plants i.e. identical to mother plant. Helps in rapid and large-scale multiplication of elite clones/varieties under aseptic and disease free conditions, which are otherwise difficult to mass multiply using conventional methods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Micropropagation often produces more robust plants, leading to accelerated growth compared to similar plants produced by conventional methods-like seeds or cuttings. Some plants with very small seeds, including most orchids, are most reliably grown from seed in sterile culture.
