Solution
The advantages of tissue culture are as follows:
- High class varieties of crops have been developed through the technique of tissue culture.
- Genetic improvement of the plants has become possible due to tissue culture, moreover, these characters can be inherited to the next generation.
- Tissue culture techniques are also being used in the production of edible vaccines.
- The benefit of tissue culture in fruiting and flowering plants is the incorporation of desirable characters like disease and pest resistance by various biotechnological techniques.
- Uniform growth, early maturity and high yields may also be obtained by tissue culture techniques. In case of fruiting plants, it helps produce noncracking fruits of uniform size.
- Animal tissue culture is also useful for the growth and maintenance of cell cultures which are further used for stem cell therapy and other medical and research purposes.
