=== Direct organogenesis ===
Direct organogenesis is a method of plant tissue culture in which organs like roots and shoots develop directly from meristematic or non-meristematic cells, bypassing the [[Callus (cell biology)|callus]] formation stage. This process takes place through the activation of shoot and root apical meristems or axillary buds, influenced by internal or externally applied plant growth regulators. As a result, specific cell types differentiate to form plant structures that can grow into whole plants. This technique is commonly used for propagating various plant species, including [[Vegetable|vegetables]], [[Fruit|fruits]], [[Woody plant|woody plants]], and [[medicinal plants]]. Shoot tips and nodal segments are typically used as explants in this process. In some cases, adventitious structures arise from somatic tissues under specific conditions, allowing for the regeneration of shoots or roots in areas where they would not naturally develop. This approach is particularly effective in herbaceous species, and while adventitious regeneration can lead to a higher rate of shoot formation, axillary shoot proliferation remains the most widely used method in micropropagation due to its efficiency and practicality. The general sequence of organ development in this process follows the pattern: Primary Explant → Meristemoid → Organ Primordium.{{cn|date=June 2025}}
