Tissue culture is the in vitro aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs or whole plant under controlled nutritional and environmental conditions [1] often to produce the clones of plants. The resultant clones are true-to type of the selected genotype. The controlled conditions provide the culture an environment conducive for their growth and multiplication. These conditions include proper supply of nutrients, pH medium, adequate temperature and proper gaseous and liquid environment.

• Light quality in plant tissue culture: does it matter? (2018, background): “…studies are still restricted to ex vitro culture conditions, but in vitro cultivation has many advantages, such as fewer external factors, control of the cultivation environment, and the possibility to use elicitors for the metabolic pathway of interest (Hussain et al. 2012; Murthy et al. 2014).”
