Clonal Propagation in Broccoli (Brassica oleracea l. var. italica)

The clonal multiplication of broccoli especially through tissue culture might provide a useful alternative to seed propagation, thus resulting in to production of better quality planting stock. In vitro multiplication of elite plant genotypes offers immense opportunities to multiply large number of disease free, healthy and vigorous planting material in shortest possible time. The major attention for any crop improvement program is its yield and disease resistance.
