A German Botanist, Gottlieb Haberlandt, made the first attempt to use the in vitro method to grow plant tissues and gave the basic concept for the cultivation of plant cells, tissues and organs in vitro culture over 100 years ago. At the initial period plant tissue cultures treated as a research tool and only focused on study the development of small, isolated cells and segments of plant tissues. Today plant tissue culture applications incorporate significantly more than clonal propagation. The scope of routine advancements has extended to incorporate somatic embryogenesis, somatic hybridization, and elimination of virus as well as the application of bioreactors for mass propagation. May be the best estimation of these tissue culture technologies lies less in their application to mass clonal propagation rather than their role in a plant improvement/modification, molecular biology, bioprocessing and germplasm storage, as well as being a basic research tool. Beside this plant tissue culture technique helps in horticulture to increase crop production.
