Micropropagation: Micropropagation is the process of propagating plants from small pieces of tissue, using sterile conditions and controlled environmental factors. It is used to produce large numbers of identical plants quickly and cheaply.
microsclerotia
Microsclerotia: Microsclerotia are small, hard bodies that form on the surface of some fungi. They are resistant to adverse conditions and can survive for long periods of time without food or water. When conditions improve, the microsclerotia germinate and produce new fungi.
