The document describes micropropagation, a method of plant tissue culture used to rapidly produce new plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Micropropagation involves taking small explants from plants and growing them in sterile culture media in controlled conditions. Key advantages include producing many new plants from a small explant sample, in a short time period, with consistent characteristics. Common plant types propagated through micropropagation include fruits, ornamentals, vegetables, and crops. The document also discusses various factors that affect micropropagation success, including explant type and condition, culture media formulation, temperature, light, and plant growth hormones.
