Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When virus elimination is the objective, to obtain disease-free plants, shoot tips of up to 10 mm are used. For rapid clonal propagation, a shoot-tip culture is followed in which (5–10 mm) explants are used. Hence, the majority of meristem culture are essentially shoot-tip cultures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Micropropagation is the process of producing plants vegetatively through cell culture or tissue culture techniques. This technique is used to produce a large number of identical plants (clones) from a selected stock plant. More items
