Name the two plant which are produced by micropropagation?
Micropropagation is a rapid vegetative proportion technique to increase the number of plants with tissue culture technique.
In micropropagation, there is no need of fertilisation or seed formation. Only a small part of a plant is required to produce a new plant from it.
The small part of the plant is known as explant. The explant is then placed in the tissue culture media to produce callus. The tissue culture media contains nutrient, hormones etc. Callus a small ball like structure of undifferentiated tissue. Now, the hormones of the media start their action. If the amount of auxin is higher than cytokinin, then root formation starts. If the amount of cytokinin is higher than auxin, then shoot (stem) formation starts. Thus a minute plant is produced which is known as plantlet. From this plantlet, entire plant will be formed.
