Abstract
After the concept of plant cell totipotency was experimentally proved by German scientist Gottlieb Haberlandt at the beginning of the 20th century, tissue culture techniques started to develop rapidly.
Numerous protocols for in vitro plant regeneration and propagation have subsequently been developed and commercialized.
At the same time, several sophisticated methods of genetic modification have been established, and combining both strategies has led to improvements in important plant traits and the production of ornamentals displaying novel morphological features compared to the parent plants.
Numerous examples of successful ways to increase the number and type of available germplasms are presented.
