mikrokloonaamista
Mikrokloonaamista, known in English as microcloning, is a modern propagation technique used to produce genetically identical copies of a plant. This method falls under the broader umbrella of plant tissue culture. It involves taking small pieces of plant tissue, known as explants, which can include meristematic cells, leaf fragments, or stem segments, and growing them in a sterile laboratory environment.
The process typically begins with the selection of a healthy mother plant, chosen for its desirable traits.
Once sufficient growth has occurred in vitro, the developing plantlets are gradually acclimatized to ex vitro
