Abstract

Since last century, Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) exhibited enormous contribution in the science, mainly in last three to four decade, after the development of the newer technologies such as direct/indirect organogenesis, direct/indirect somatic embryogenesis, synthetic seed production, hybridization, somaclonal variation, haploid culture, and germplasm conservation. PTC is a biotechnological tool which contributes to the industries, horticulture, forestry and agricultural production in the way of crop improvement in terms of food, fodder, fibres, fuel and production of new varieties. This is one of the progressive steps towards commercialization, which will be helpful for the developing countries to fulfil the challenges of food availability of growing populations in a restricted land area.
