A tissue culture laboratory is a building where little plants are grown in a climate chamber or growth chamber for research, breeding or multiplication. It consists of media rooms, cutting rooms and growth chambers. Currently at TARI Kibaha we have a good facility and started propagation of sugarcane and cassava crops. That are multiplied and grown to a certain size before transferring it to the greenhouse. We have the capacity to multiply other crops.
Advantage of tissue culture
Commercial purpose
Mass production of various plant cultivar for a short period of time
Production of pathogen free plantlets
Continuous year-round production (unaffected by climate)
Research (Breeding) purpose
Germplasm conservation (in-situ)
Genetic variability
Hybridization
Selection
