5. In dioecious species (male and female plants), plants of one sex may be more desirable than those of the other, e.g., male Asparagus or female papaya plants. In such cases, plants of the desired sex can be selectively multiplied by micropropagation.
6. In case of forest trees, mature elite trees can be identified and rapidly cloned by this technique.
7. Micropropagation can be carried out throughout the year independent of seasons.
8. In case of many ornamentals, tissue culture plants give better growth, more flowers and less fall out.
