Kaur, R. | Sharma, D. R.
Horticultural crops have a pride of place in daily life and have become an essential component of our diet. To match the demands of the increasing population, horticultural crops must be multiplied at a faster rate. Conventionally, horticultural plants have been produced in farmer-managed nurseries by using traditional plant breeding techniques such as grafting, budding, cutting and seed production, etc. However, in the recent past, propagation through biotechnological approaches has made great contributions towards large-scale production of horticultural plants. Reproducible protocols of plant tissue culture compounded with cost-effective, efficient and evolving technology will benefit the horticulture industry. During the last two decades, numerous multinational companies have made substantial investments in horticulture by deploying tissue culture. The conventional and biotechnological approaches being used for the multiplication of horticultural crops are discussed.
