Page 5 Crop Production 7 Plants production could use cell or tissue culture such as shoot or somatic Somatic Embryogenesis Growing plant embryo from single cells, use vegetative tissue such as merstem and grow in laboratory which produce transgenic plants. somatic embryo have no connection to maternal callus Shoot Organogenesis   Plant generation organs from vegetative tissue, it has strong connection with their maternal tissue (callus) Type of Farming There are 3 types of farming which is indoor, outdoor and vertical 3 Indoor Hydroponic Similar structure and techniques with outdoor hydroponic, however, this Outdoor Hydroponic Outdoor Hydroponic is a method to grow plants without soil which use mineral method use artificial sunlight and Advantages: spectrum which make plant grow Lesser water consumption; undefinitely 10% less water No herbicide, pesticides and fertilizer pollution as it could 6 be used repeatedly Vertical Farming Vertical Indoor farming use indoor 4 farming with use of sunlight. Singapore 5 adopt indoor vertical farming system due to land scarcity to produce their domestic Advantages: Artificial light produce unlimited groceries. they use 9 meters holding duration produce higher yield tower which rotates automatically Hydroponic farming lead to 20% faster growth as root don't have to search for nutrients 5 (gravity) to distribute water; from the source of rainwater.
