How is tissue culture done? Write any three application of tissue culture.

For tissue culture, a few cells of a plant to be propagated are taken and kept into a culture solution under sterile conditions. In this solution a sharpless lump is produced by rapid cell divisions of the plant cell. Then the lump or callus is transferred into another culture solution containing suitable plant hormones, which stimulate the callus to develop roots. This callus with root is transferred to other culture solution for its shoot development. Finally, the baby plants are grown.
Any three application of tissue culture are:
        - Endangered plants can be reproduced into large numbers.
        - Farmers can reproduce the plants without seed in short time.
        - Healthy and disease free plants can be produced.
