摘要

Tissue culture is a widely accepted technique utilised for micro-propagation of plants, obtaining disease free plants, synthesising artificial seeds, secondary metabolites, carrying out gene transfers, protecting endangered species, maintaining genetic diversity etc. The search for alternative low-cost media constituents for plant tissue culture technology is a continuing process. Plant breeders in developing countries have undertaken research work to bring down the cost of micropropagules produced through plant tissue culture to serve the farming community. Alternative sources for gelling agents, carbon source, macro and micronutrients, reduction of laboratory construction cost and equipments have been reviewed in this paper.
