Answer: Advantages of micropropagation (tissue culture):

  1. A very large number of plantlets can be produced from a small explant in a short time and small space.
  2. The plants produced are genetically identical (somaclones) to the parent, so desired characters are retained.
  3. Disease-free (virus-free) plants can be obtained by meristem culture.
  4. Plants can be multiplied throughout the year, independent of season.
  5. Plants that do not produce viable seeds or are difficult to propagate vegetatively can be multiplied, e.g. banana, orchids.
