The advantages of micropropagation are: (i) BY this method, it is possible to achieve propagation of a large number of plants in very short .durations. Plants like tomato, banana, apple, etc., have been produced on commercial scale. (ii) Healthy plants can be recovered from diseased plants by micropropagation. This is done by removing the meristem, which is disease-free and growing it in vitro. This has been done in banana, sugar cane, potato, etc"
