Abstract

Plant tissue culture techniques have encountered a lot of obstacles and breakthroughs as a life-giving technology in numerous field of biotechnology research. Tissue culture technology has evolved throughout times in the world, from shoot tip culture to variety creation. Plant tissue culture may be thought of as a collection of techniques/methodologies that make uses distinct rooms and essential facilities.

The Areka tissue culture research laboratory was established with the aim of conducting comprehensive plant biotechnology researches. However, numerous challenges and opportunities have arisen in the course of attempting to conduct tissue culture experiments in the lab. In fact, the lab highlighted several accomplishments in a few key areas while also tracking improvement over time. Therefore, this walk-through review offers an overall picture of the lab in relation to the research plans, status, and trends. As a result, contribute to the provision of baseline information for future study advancement.
