I am working on in vitro propagation of fruiting plants. I was initiated shoot multiplication from explant (shoot apex and nodal part) of aseptic seedling derived from seeds. I want to know whether in vitro raised plant bears elite genotype? If I don't want to go with molecular analysis? Please share information on this topic....
Seed is the link between two generation. And in vitro propagation seed has elite genotype. you can see following link...
Elite genotypes/chemotypes, with high contents of madecassoside and asiaticoside, from sixty accessions of Centella asiatica of south India and the Andaman Islands: For cultivation and utility in cosmetic and herbal drug applications
Dear Dr. Bhadane
Your question is somewhat ambiguous, but as far as I understand, it depends on the type of plant and parent, for example, whether the parents are hybrid or not? ...

In culture, all seedling derived from feeds differentes and formes the clones différentes with the génotype différentes.
Best regards,

In seed propagation you can not succeed in achieving 100% of plants germinated with the same genotype to the parent tree, this is due to cross pollination. However, with cuttings being propagated will give you 100% due to genetic component of that plant being captured within the cuttings taken.
