Advantages of Micropropagation — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptWhat is the major advantage of producing plants by micropropagation?
Which of the above statements regarding plant tissue culture techniques are correct? S1: Meristem culture is utilized for obtaining virus-free plants because the apical and axillary meristems are generally free of viral infection. S2: Micropropagation is the method of producing a large number of genetically identical plants, referred to as somaclones, in a short duration. S3: The nutrient medium for in vitro plant culture typically contains only inorganic salts and a carbon source, without the need for growth regulators. S4: Somatic hybridisation involves the fusion of protoplasts from two different plant varieties to produce a new hybrid plant. S5: Pomato is a commercially highly successful somatic hybrid plant extensively used in agriculture.
