Abstract

This chapter delves into the pivotal role of in vitro technology in plant conservation, addressing the urgent need to combat biodiversity loss and preserve genetic diversity. It explores various biotechnological approaches, including tissue culture, cryopreservation, and genetic transformation, highlighting their effectiveness in germplasm conservation. The text also discusses the challenges and opportunities in implementing these techniques, such as the need for optimized protocols and the potential for genetic variation. Additionally, it covers the applications of these methods in producing disease-free plants, enhancing secondary metabolite production, and developing valuable bioactive molecules. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating these biotechnological approaches with traditional conservation methods to ensure the sustainable preservation of plant genetic resources for future generations.
