Tissue culture technology
is based on the theory of totipotency i.e. the ability of a single cell
to develop into whole organism.
The major components of the technology include choice of explant
(excised part of plant), growing of explant on a defined medium in glass
vessel (in vitro), elimination and or prevention of diseases, providing
appropriate cultural environment and transfer of plantlets from glass
vessel to natural environment (hardening).
All these constitute protocol for tissue culture.
It varies from species to species and variety to variety within the same
species.
However, it can be standardized through trial and error and ultimately
it should be repeatable and reliable
