Answer 2

HEY USER ,

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-

Plant cell totipotency can be utilized for plant propagation and improvement :-

(i) By application of these methods it is possible to achieve propagation of a large number of plants in very short time. Plants like tomato, banana, apple, etc., have been produced on commercial scale.

(ii) Healthy plants can be recovered from diseased plants (by micropropagation). This is done by removing the meristem, which is disease free and growing it in vitro. This hasbeen done in banana, sugarcane potato, etc.
