In the realm of plant biology and agricultural biotechnology, incubators and growth chambers (their more sophisticated cousins) are foundational. Plant tissue culture, a technique to grow plants from small explants (like leaf segments or meristems) on sterile nutrient media, relies entirely on controlled environments. Incubators provide the stable temperature (often 22-28°C) and, in some cases, controlled light cycles needed for callus induction, shoot proliferation, and root formation. This technology enables the mass production of elite, disease-free plant clones (micropropagation) for horticulture (e.g., orchids, bananas) and forestry.

In genetic engineering, incubators nurture transformed plant cells after gene insertion, allowing them to divide and eventually regenerate into whole, genetically modified plants. They are also used for seed germination studies under standardized conditions to test viability and vigor, and for preserving plant cell suspension cultures used to produce valuable secondary metabolites (pharmaceuticals, flavors, colors). Thus, from preserving rare species to engineering drought-resistant crops, the incubator is a critical tool in ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agriculture.
