Abstract
The main intent of clonal propagation is to establish plants that are uniform and predictable of selected qualities. In view of the substantially superior rate of plant increase, interest in the use of tissue cultures as an alternative to traditional asexual multiplication methods is currently spreading rapidly. The tissue culture approach provides other equally significant benefits. Pathogen-free plants are recoverable from clones that are systematically infected, international or regional exchange of genetic stocks is expedited and rendered safer, and cryogenic preservation of plant germ-plasm is distinctly probable. Rapid clonal increase also signifies faster and timely establishment of new cultivars.
