Tissue culture, Role of tissue culture in the production of cured seedlings

The tissue at the tip of the plant tip is called the meristem. The meristem is always sterile. Germ-free new seedlings are created by meristem culture through tissue culture technology. These germ-free plants do not get diseased. No need to apply pesticides and fungicides to plants. As a result, production costs are reduced and environmental pollution is prevented. In 1952, Morrell and Martin were the first to produce germ-free seedlings by culturing dahlia plant meristems. Currently, pineapple and tomato seedlings have been produced using this method.
