Previous Definition of Cloning Next Tissue Culture
  • Plant cuttings are an old and simple method used by gardeners.
  • This method involves producing many identical new plants from a parent plant.
  • A stem is cut from the original plant, known as the cutting.
  • The cutting is planted in compost to grow new roots and develop into a new plant.
  • The new plant is a clone of the original plant.
  • This method cannot produce many clones at once.
  • Limitation: Only a limited number of cuttings can be taken before the original plant dies.
  • Other methods may be able to produce more clones simultaneously.
