About Lesson
- Production of plant free-pathogens
- Plants undergo plant tissue culture production are free from diseases because the materials to be used are less likely infected by virus and fungi.
- Preserve germplasm
- Germplasm is the DNA of the species. Some used to preserve through seeds but there is a limitation when it comes shelf-life and characteristics are variable.
- Continuous production
- Despite climate changes, banana-planting materials could still be produced because it is done in the laboratory and grown in the nursery before it will be distributed to the farmers’ field.
- Mass propagation
- From one meristematic tissue of the plant, it can propagate to thousands of planting materials through series of subculturing.
