Abstract

Micro-propagation is an advanced and well-suited technology for the quick multiplication of plants. Due to the quick rate of multiplication, superior plant quality, and capacity to generate disease-free plants, it offers a significant potential for financial gain. To meet the demands of the expanding global population, it should be applied widely to create new vegetable types and boost vegetable output. A variety of methods for quick multiplication and enhancement of a wide range of horticultural crops and their production systems have been developed as a result of advancements in this field. One of the biggest benefits of micropropagation is the minimal growing space needed in commercial nurseries. Within the culture vials, thousands to millions of plantlets can be kept alive. This approach is more beneficial for plants that grow slowly, where the seeds are the only propagule and are produced over an extended period of time. It is fairly common to employ attractive plant planting materials in both business and residential landscaping and household gardens. For growers to become more productive, high-quality planting material is a necessary requirement. Around the world, 700 million plants are produced in vitro, according to the most recent figures. Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia are the top three countries for ornamental plant in vitro propagation, followed by Israel, the United States, and India. In vitro propagation has been heavily utilized in the ornamental industry for mass plant reproduction of superior elite varieties. Numerous plant tissue culture facilities have sprung up all over the world, especially in developing countries, due to the low cost of labour. Due to the higher cost of micro propagation technology compared to conventional propagation techniques, steps must be taken to cut manufacturing costs in order to lower the cost per plant. The use of biotechnological tools and techniques increase the productivity of ornamental plants is supported by a large number of articles.
