There has been a revival of interest in the study of aquatic angiosperms. Escalating population pressure and dwindling resources have urged scientists to harness the untapped potential of aquatic plant wealth. Safe and effective control measures are needed to check the spread of water weeds. The problems and advantages of growing whole plants under axenic conditions have been summarised. The uses to which this technique can be put have been outlined. A brief account of the basic knowledge on growth, regeneration, heterophylly, flowering, pollination, reproduction, genetic variability and taxonomy gained from the tissue culture of aquatic plants has been presented.
