Question

which of the following is the main application of embryo culture ? A.clonal propagation B.production of embryoids C.induction of somaclonal variation D.overcoming hybridisation barriers

Answer 1

Answer:

production of everyone's I think so

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (D) Overcoming the hybridization barriers.

The main application of Embryo cultures is to raise rare hybrids which cannot be found naturally. It is done by rescuing embryos of incompatible crosses of different plants and obtaining a fertile plant.

Explanation:

Embryo Culture is mainly done to allow the breeding of incompatible interspecific and intergeneric species. This process of embryo culture can be used to bypass the hybridisation barrier and produce fertile offspring. The rest process can be done by other methods also.

1. In Clonal propagation individual plant is obtained by this asexual method and embryos can also be used to produce clonal plants.
2. Production of embryoids in embryo /tissue culture is done to where the embryo passes through three stages globular, heart-shaped and torpedo.
3. Induction of Somalclonal variation refers to the genetic variability observed in embryo/tissue culture plants.
