With the flourishment of ornamental aquarium market, aquascaping with aquarium plants become popular in recent years. There are two methods to produce aquatic plants: natural ramification and artificial propagation. The natural ramification method is to let the plant grow naturally and wait for it to grow new side buds. But it takes a longer time to harvest. Although the artificial propagation speed is faster than that of natural ramets, it often causes damage to the plant. However, the production of seedlings through above methods often attached living organisms and parasitic nematodes, which creates problems for consumers and export quarantine. Plant tissue culture has been recognized as a technology that can produce plant seedlings effectively. The seedlings produced by plant tissue culture are not only small in size, healthy, clean but also pathogen-free. It is the best way to exchange and introduce internationally.

Plant tissue culture has been recognized as a technology that can produce plant seedlings effectively. Even though the technical threshold and cost are higher than other breeding methods, this technology can be used to reproduce high economic value aquatic plants effectively, thus to meet the needs of the market with a large number of high-quality seedlings, while maintaining the characteristics of each species and prevent its degradation. For the ornamental aquarium market, aquatic tissue culture technology has considerable economic significance. Therefore, the research team actively develops tissue culture seedling commodities of various aquarium plants with economic value and high market share in the current market.

This technology is suitable for the aquarium, cultural and creative goods industries. Since there are few current domestic aquarium plant tissue culture products, and yet the needs of the industry increase. This technology will enhance the international competitiveness of related industries after being generally applied in the related field.
