Meristem culture is the culture of
Answers
Answer:
Meristem culture is used for shoot apical meristem culture in vitro. ... For rapid clonal propagation, a shoot-tip culture is followed in which (5–10 mm) explants are used. Hence, the majority of meristem culture are essentially shoot-tip cultures.
Explanation:
this what you needed
In this type of culture we an explant that contains pre-existing shoot meristems is used & also it should produce shoot from them.
Additional Information:-
1. Explant means shoot tips or nodal segments in this are cultured on a medium containing cytokinin.
2. Cytokinin in this promotes axillary branching by overcoming apical dominance.
3. When the plantlet has grown a few leaves it is transferers to soil after it becomes hard.
Meristem culture can be used for :-
=> Rapid clonal multiplication.
=> Production of virus tree plants.
=> Conservation of germplasm.
=> Production of transgenic plants.
