Online Published on 12 September, 2023. Abstract Plant biotechnologies are a broad category of methods and tools that include molecular genetics, recombinant DNA research, genome characterization, gene-transfer techniques, aseptic cell, tissue, and organ growth, uniform plant regeneration, and plant tissue culture. Plant tissue culture is a collection of in vitro techniques, procedures, and tactics that fall under the umbrella of plant biotechnology. Tissue culture has been used to increase genetic variability in agricultural plants, improve the health of the planted material, and increase the number of attractive germplasms available to plant breeders. Tissue-culture procedures are available for the majority of agricultural species, albeit many crops, particularly cereals and woody plants, require ongoing optimisation. Tissue culture techniques, in conjunction with molecular approaches, have been utilised successfully to include certain features via gene transfer. Millions of plants are produced in large-scale micropropalgation laboratories for the commercial decorative industry and the agricultural, clonally-propagated crop sector. With selected laboratory material often taking one or two decades to reach the commercial market via plant breeding, this technology can be predicted to have an ever-increasing impact on agricultural development as the millennium approaches.
