Abstract
This community service program aims to improve the understanding and skills of the Plant Study Community in in vitro plant propagation techniques through tissue culture workshop. This activity is motivated by the importance of tissue culture technology in multiplying plants quickly, disease-free, and with superior genetic quality. The training includes theory and direct practice, including explant sterilization, propagation through culture media, and acclimatization of culture results in an open environment. Training participants gain in-depth knowledge of tissue culture techniques and their applications in modern agriculture, as well as their ability to support the conservation and recovery of rare plant species. The results of this program show a significant increase in participants^ theoretical understanding and practical skills, which are expected to contribute to the application of this technology at the community and education levels.
