Tissue culture cloning is the process of taking small parts of specimen plants and creating unlimited numbers of exact genetic copies asexually in a sterile lab setting. This process has been adapted to create genetically altered commercial food and medicinal crops.

Where can cloning be carried out?
In grain production. (Farming). Additional: The cloning of plants by vegetative propagation (taking cuttings) is the most common form of cloning today and will certainly continue to be so.
How is cloning a plant done?
This process is sometimes called cloning because every new plant is exactly like the parent. One type of cloning uses cuttings--parts of plants that grow into new plants.
