Abstract

Clonal propagation, a technique widely used in agriculture, offers promising opportunities to enhance crop productivity and address the challenges of food security. This article presents smart strategies for maximizing crop yields through clonal propagation methods. It explores innovative approaches, advanced technologies, and key considerations for successful implementation. The article delves into the potential benefits of clonal propagation, such as genetic purity, uniformity, and disease resistance. Furthermore, it discusses emerging trends in clonal propagation research and their implications for sustainable agriculture.

Keywords: Clone, embryo, propagation, somatic cell
