implants (Botany)
In botany, implants refer to the process of introducing a plant tissue or organ into a different environment, often for research or propagation purposes. This technique can involve grafting, where a part of one plant is attached to another, or tissue culture, where plant cells are grown in a controlled environment.
These methods are used to study plant growth, develop disease-resistant varieties, or propagate rare species. Successful implants can lead to the creation of hybrids or improved plants, contributing to agricultural advancements and biodiversity conservation. Techniques like grafting and tissue culture are essential in modern horticulture and plant science.
