Micropropagation is used for rapid vegetative multiplication of plants. As the size of the propagule is minute, thus the technique is named micropropagation. Each, such plant, will be genetically identical to the parent plant. Generally, apical or axillary meristems are free from viruses. Hence, can be used as explants in tissue culture to produce virus free plants.
