Question

What is organogenesis and its importance.mechanism and utility from biology discussion?

Answer 1

Organogenesis is a process of differentiation by which plant organs like roots, shoots, buds etc. are formed from the unusual points of origin of an organized explants where a preformed meristem is lacking.

With the discovery of cellular totipotency and the de­velopment of methods for regeneration of plant from in vitro cell culture, a large number of plant species including economically important crop plants, medicinal plants, horticulturally impor­tant plants, timber yielding plants etc. have been successfully regenerated from callus culture via organogenesis and the reports of regenera­tion of other plants are still increasing day by day.
