Have you ever heard of such a high-end term for succulent plant tissue culture? let's take a look at what succulent plant tissue culture is.

What is succulent tissue culture:

Succulent tissue culture refers to the process of using a part of succulent plants to obtain new seedlings (cloned seedlings) through asexual vegetative reproduction, also known as plant cloning.

The things about succulent tissue culture:

First, what exactly does the "organizational culture" that leads to market turmoil refer to?

To be exact, it should be "in vitro rapid propagation", that is, a branch of tissue culture technology-in vitro rapid propagation, referred to as "rapid propagation". This technology evolved from leaf and root insertion. We use soil for leaf and root insertion, while "rapid propagation" is done with a synthetic substrate that looks like jelly, and the container is changed from a flowerpot to a glass bottle. This is the plant tissue culture factory that you saw on TV later.

Second, why can the culture medium in the glass bottle achieve rapid propagation?

The reason lies in the superior external environment and the role of plant hormones. The temperature, light and humidity of the rapid propagation laboratory are all constant, and the "culture medium" contains sufficient nutrients and powerful plant hormones. These hormones can adjust the growth state of the plant according to man's will, let it take root or let it sprout (but it also depends on the academic level and experience of the operator, there are only a limited number of people who can calmly operate the hormone in China).

When we usually do leaf insertion and beheading, we will also skillfully use some hormones. In fact, the behavior of adding hormones to leaf insertion and beheading plants is the same as the nature and reason of "rapid propagation", and the seedlings obtained are exactly the same. Many people do not realize this, but think that the seedling characteristics obtained by different breeding methods will be different, in fact, the difference only lies in the nutrient concentration, that is, the plumpness of the seedlings, the leaf insertion is always weaker than the beheading, and the character presents later. This is caused by the endogenous hormones and nutrition of the site, but the genome is completely consistent, and there will be no character drift. Only chimeric traits, such as spotted brocade, are likely to have a "probability" difference between leaf cutting and beheading.
