Abstract

Micropropagation of Ficus carica cultivars (common fig) is an important technique in the propagation and production of high-quality plants. Ficus carica, a deciduous fruit tree, is valued for its edible fruits and ornamental value. This abstract provides an overview of micropropagation techniques specific to Ficus carica cultivars,highlighting the importance, key steps, and applications in the production of elite plant material.

Micropropagation of Ficus carica cultivars has several applications in the production of elite plant material. It allows for the rapid multiplication of selected cultivars, ensuring genetic uniformity and maintaining desirable traits.This technique is particularly valuable for the propagation of high-yielding and disease-resistant cultivars, as well as for the conservation and preservation of rare or endangered cultivars.

Furthermore, micropropagation enables the production of disease-free plants, as the process takes place in a sterile laboratory environment. This reduces the risk of transmitting pathogens or diseases commonly associated with traditional propagation methods.
