Plant tissue culture (PTC) has been used for over a century, dating back to Haberlandt's invention in 1902. Murashige and Skoog’s development of a commonly used medium composition (MS medium) in 1962, formed the foundation of the majority of plant tissue culture protocols. PTC started to become majorly relevant since the late 1990s, when commercial companies were attempting to develop protocols for delivering commercial traits into economically viable crops.
