Plants raised through tissue cultures are clones of the ‘parent’ plant.
Discuss the utility of these plants.

PLants raise through tissue culture are called clones of the parent plant because these plants are grown from a single totipotent cell of the parent plant which divides and gives rise to a whole plant. Thus the plant is an exact copy of the parent as no fusion of two cells take place.
Tissue culture plants are used to obtain exact copies of economical varieties of plants. The plants obtained by culturing of meristems are Virus free and thus used to obtain virus-free plants.
