Question

In order to obtain virus-free plants through tissue
culture the best method is
(a) embryo rescue
(b) anther culture
(c) meristem culture
(d) protoplast culture

Answer 1

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The shoot apical meristem along with some surrounding tissue is grown in in-vitro, in the process of meristem culture. Clonal propagation and recovery of virus-free plants use this system. It is also very useful in germ plasm exchange and also storage of germ plasm for the long term using freeze preservation

Answer 2

Answer:

option c is the right answer

Explanation:

The shoot apical meristem along with some surrounding tissue is grown in in-vitro, in the process of meristem culture. Clonal propagation and recovery of virus-free plants use this system. It is also very useful in germ plasm exchange and also storage of germ plasm for the long term using freeze preservation. Culture of Anthers, which is done on an artificial medium is also involved in Anther culture.
