Tissue culture technique can produce infinite number or new plants...

Tissue culture technique can produce infinite number or new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising:

Options

  1. Agenetically uniform population identical to the original parent.
  2. Bhomozygous diploid plants.
  3. Cnew species.
  4. Dvariants through picking up somaclonal variations

Correct answer

A. genetically uniform population identical to the original parent.

Step-by-step solution

The technique to generate whole plant from an explant with in vitro condition on a suitable synthetic medium is called tissue culture. We can produce several plants. Genetic constitution of all plants is same, leading to identical population to the original parent. Disease free plants can be produced in large number. Related Theory In Tissue culture, culture of an excised part in an aseptic culture medium to form a callus, in which differentiation of root and shoot buds is induced by providing suitable combination of auxins and cytokinin then the plantlets are transferred to the soil to develop into mature plants. The technique is based on the property of totipotency of plant cell which means that any cell from any part of the plant can be used to generate a whole new plant.
