Question

Which variety can be selected as stock and scion to produce good sapling with high yield

Answer 1

Answer:

Grafting is the artificial method of vegetative propagation which is applied for plants with weak root system. It involves transfer of part of one plant (scion) onto the lower part of another plant (stock) in such a way, to facilitate organic fusion or fusion of tissues. Here, the root stock is selected for its disease resistance and absorbing capacity which makes options A and C incorrect. Since, scion makes the upper above ground portion of plant, it is selected for superior quality of fruits and flowers.
