Abstract
In vitro and aseptic culturing of cells, tissues, organs, and their components in artificial growth media and environments is referred as plant tissue culture, which has applications in basic and applied studies as well as in commercial production of quality planting materials. Role of plant tissue culture tools in Moringa has several folds of applications: understanding cellular activities (including cell growth and development, cytogenetics, metabolic process and nutrition, morphogenesis, embryogenesis, and pathology), manipulating plant genetic architecture and improvement, production of disease-/pathogen-free plants, in vitro germplasm storage, high-throughput clonal propagation, and product development (such as secondary metabolite production, natural color isolation, etc.). Besides, establishment of efficient Moringa in vitro culture is the critical basic requirement of genetic transformation (which provide potential of transferring gene (originated from any organism) that governs the expression of desirable traits). This chapter provides comprehensive information on Moringa tissue culture and its applications besides providing the future prospects.
