The tissue culture propagation or micrpropagation canchange
the way we cultivate marijuana. Here is a review of this fascinating method of
cloning.
Currently With the legalization of marijuana exponential
progress in cannabis science and technology has been brought about. Many
dedicated scientists and cannabis lovers made significant breakthroughs in this
precious plant on all aspects. Growers
always seek new and improved ways of growing crops to ensure the highest
quality products and maximum returns. This is where the propagation of the
tissue culture, simply known as' micropropagation.
MICROPROPAGATION
In short, a little piece of plant material called the
"explant "is used to produce micropropagation, placed in a small,
sterile container with a special substance at the bottom of the plant. This
allows the small plant material to germinate in a small plant. Now, why should
this method replace traditional cannabis cloning methods?
For a number of reasons growers want the gardens to be filled
with uniform genotypes. They want all their plants to express the same
characteristics to maintain as consistent as possible the chemical composition
of the buds. Logistics means that farmers want their plants to have the same
physical characteristics so that they grow to the same size and need the same
nutrients and light, etc.
Day suggests that the transition to a micropropagation
approach for genetics conservation is only meaningful for cannabis producers of
some size. It's a much more accessible technology than many farmers can
anticipate, despite the persistent myths about the complexities of the
technology.
Micropropagation needs minimal infrastructure investment,
typically a reimagination of the indoor HVAC Technology. Day suggests that even
a small space can easily be a clean, functional micropropagating space with a
suitable HVAC system. One of the key features is the separation and creation,
including use of HEPA filters, of a positive pressure work zone.
Not so much in infrastructure as to operational requirements
are important investments. Day argues that protocols are the most difficult
undertaking for producers to develop and implement. The maintenance and
labeling of tissue culture are time-consuming and require protocols to ensure
its functionality on average. To grow a plantation filled with the same
genetics producers take clone from mother plant. This method has the problem of
taking a limited number of clones from her mother; it needs to be kept with
special care and over time it is susceptible to mold and disease.
PROS
Tissue culture allows the mother's small parts to be taken
and placed in small containers in a special nutrient-rich medium. These small
plant components will develop and multiply after a short period of time and can
then be separately cuts and grown. This allows farmers not to keep their mother
plants in the same genotype.
There is not enough space in the small containers for micro
propagation, and plants are not mould and disease-sensitive, like normal
clones. This is due to
the limitation of pesticide and pathogens exposure to culture and sterile
conditions. Micro propagation is better than cloning, because there are
thousands of samples located in very small areas that require little
maintenance as opposed to conventional cloning methods, where the use of the
power and resources of mother plants and clones is considerable.
CONS
It is not something to your daily, small-scale growers that
is the main downside of micro propagation.. A highly sterile environment,
expertise and full temperature, moisture and control of the light are necessary
for micropropagation. Even if it is perfectly possible, a lot of skill and knowledge
are needed. As such, the easiest way to clone is to develop clones from a
mother plant. However, cannabis technology will evolve over time and may make
it very easy to micropropagate their plants for average ganja-yoes.

FUTURE OF
MICROPROPAGATION
For high quality weeds, not only do cannabis lovers strive
but the human species in general have a promise. This technology has proven
itself. Based on their desired properties, all types of plants can be micropropagated
and selected. In any case, cannabis micropropagation is here, and is more
common in the future.
There is need for a transition to micropropagation, which is
critical to the understanding of the underlying benefits of the tools they use
for cannabis cultivators. When micropropagation comes down to improved cannabis
genetic engineering, improved plants and hence improved production. This is a
step to the industry's future.
In the last century parallels between the maize
output increases has been drawn. The numbers indicate that, over the past 75
years, the development of double-cross hybrids and various enhanced breeding
technologies owes maize crops a spectacular increase in return. Micropropagation,
a method for cannabis propagation, is another essential crop management tool
that could prove as positive for future cannabis rates.
