Applications of plant tissue culture technique in different industries.

Industry Products Applications and advantages Limitations References
Food Rice Gives high yield irrespective of seasonal requirements and require less area for production Produce less resilient plants, Less acceptance towards tissue cultured food plants in general public, no need of herbicide and pesticide application (Roy et al., 2000; Sparks and Jones, 2014; Yaqoob et al., 2016; Hasnain et al., 2018; Hasnain et al., 2020)
Wheat Wheat varieties are resistant against different diseases with increased yield and high nutritional value
Pineapple (Smooth Cayenne) High yield, Gives efficient and fast production of required flora
Banana Cheap and sterile planting materials ultimately giving a high yield during whole year
Chocolate Unique taste and aroma
Pharmaceutical Codeine To relieve pain as well as coughing Less production of secondary metabolites, difficult to remove secondary metabolites from the culture (Czyz et al., 2014; Hayden et al., 2014; Mali and Chavan, 2016)
Atropine Treat the symptoms of decreased heart rate
Reserpine Treat high blood pressure
Hyoscyamine Treat a range of gastrointestinal disorders
Digoxin Used to treat heart failure
Scopolamine Avoid nausea and vomiting induced by motion sickness
Morphine Pain killer
