Question

"Healthy plants can be recovered from diseased plants by tissue culture " how is it possible

Answer 1

Plant Tissue Culture is a technique of growing cells, tissues or organs in sterilized nutrient media under controlled aseptic conditions. The plant material to be cultured may be cells, tissues or plant organs such as excised root tip, shoot tip, shoot bud, leaf petiole, inflorescence, anther, embryo, ovule or ovary.

Answer 2

Answer:

Healthy plants can be recovered from the diseased plants by tissue culture. From diseased plant shoot apical meristem cells can be taken as these are the actively dividing cells and they don' t have proper vascular system. Because it is the actively growing region plant hormones present in the region. This region generally remains unaffected from disease causing agents. This region can be extracted and grown on suitable growth medium can be useful for healthy growth of plants.
