There are thousands of unexplored plants in Indigenous systems of medicine which should be brought forward integrating with modern principles of biotechnology and explored for its potential therapeutic benefits. Tissue culture is one such methodology in which identical clones of the target plant are produced in large quantities which can be used for therapeutic and research purposes. This technology is still in its developing stage and more researches on this should be conducted for medicinal plants especially for evaluating its potential benefits. This article aims at providing an in-depth literary analysis on tissue culture glancing through the evolution of the technology, the methodology and the potential advantages and disadvantages of the same.
