The importance of learning the basic method before delving into specific plant tissue culture techniques.
The first step involves selecting a well-developed mother plant with a healthy shoot and root system.
The next step is selecting an explant, a part of the mother plant like a leaf, root, flower, or meristem.
Surface sterilization of the explant is crucial to remove bacteria using sodium hypochlorite solution and distilled water.
The explant is then placed in a nutrient medium like MS medium containing macronutrients, micronutrients, growth hormone regulators, and organic nutrients.
The explant absorbs cytokines from the nutrient medium, leading to cell division and the formation of callus.
Incubation of the explant in the nutrient medium at 15-25 degrees Celsius for 3-6 weeks results in the formation of callus.
The callus can undergo either embryogenesis, forming an embryo, or organogenesis, directly forming a plant, leading to the development of a mature plant that can be transferred to soil for cultivation.

Choose a mother plant for the tissue culture process
Surface sterilize the explant with sodium hypochlorite solution
Wash the explant with distilled water to remove bacteria
Cultivate the explant in a test tube with nutrient medium
Cytokinesis process leads to the formation of callus in 3-6 weeks
Shoot and root formation follow the callus formation
Transfer the plantlet to a pot with soil for further growth
Advantages of plant tissue culture include micropropagation and genetic identicality to mother plant
