Micropropagation techniques and the production of pathogen-free plants
1992
Waithaka, K.
The main applications of in vitro plant tissue culture in crop production are in micropropagation and plant sanitation. Tissue culture is currently being applied to a large variety of ornamental plants on a commercial basis. It has been applied effectively in the clonal propagation of many plant species, including ornamental and crop plants such as ferns, orchids, gerbera, carnation, chrysanthemum, strawberry, apple and potato. The use of meristem and shoot-tip cultures for the recovery and establishment of pathogen-free plants has also become common practice in the production of virus-free stock of vegetatively propagated plants in many commercial nurseries in the developed world
