Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of micropropagation, also known as tissue culture, is the main mechanism for cloning a plant. Small samples from an adult plant are cut out. These tiny explants can be sterilised in dilute bleach to kill surface bacteria and fungi, then grown in a suitable culture medium.
