Imagine creating thousands of identical plants from a single leaf or rescuing an endangered species from the brink of extinction using just a few cells. This is the power of plant tissue culture, a groundbreaking technique that has revolutionized how we grow and study plants. At its core, tissue culture is like running a microscopic plant nursery in sterile laboratory conditions. Scientists take small pieces of plant tissue - a leaf, stem, or even a few cells - and nurture them in special nutrient-rich media until they develop into complete, healthy plants.
