• Commercial production of tissue cultured plants in banana, strawberry and pine-apple successful.
  
  
• Production of virus-free planting material and shoot tip grafting in citrus a commercial.
  
  
• Cutting is extracted from a plant part and planted in the soil.
  
  
• Protocols proposition for mass multiplication of apple, grape and citrus rootstocks available.
  
  
• The extracted cuttings are trimmed and planted in the soil either horizontally or vertically depending on the need.
  
  
• In vitro multiplication of superior potato clones for chip and finger making commercialized.
  
  
• Micro-tuber and True Potato Seed techniques also standardized for commercial exploitation.
  

• Production of virus-free planting material and shoot tip grafting in citrus a commercial.
  
  
• Virus elimination through meristem culture has been standardized in potato and taro.
  
  
• High frequency reproducible protocols for rapid propagation of rose, carnation, gerbera, orchids, chrysanthemum and gladiolus developed.
  
  
• In vitro propagation protocols available for different MAPs like Rauvolfia serpentine (Sarpgandha), Dioscorea floribunda, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Azadirachta indica, Stevia sp., Celastrus paniculatus Willd.
  
  
• Aloe vera, geraniums, neem, Pathouli, Stevia sp. etc. Protocols developed are not commercially successful but need refinement in coconut, areca nut and cashew

• Protocols standardized for micro-propagation of superior tea, coffee and rubber clones
