FAQ About Hybridization Techniques for Indoor Plants

What role does tissue culture play in hybrid plant production?
Tissue culture plays a significant role in hybrid plant production by allowing the cloning of plants under controlled laboratory conditions. This technique involves taking small pieces of plant tissue and growing them in sterile media, which can be manipulated to encourage the expression of specific traits or to stabilize new hybrids. Tissue culture is especially valuable for rapidly producing large numbers of identical plant clones, including hybrids.
