In a suitable culture medium, a whole plant may be regenerated from a small tissue or plant cell. under controlled environment. Commercial technology is mostly based on micro propagation, where rapid proliferation is performed from process cuttings, axillary buds, somatic embryos, cell clumps in suspension cultures, and bioreactors to a small degree.
