Biology Question on Strategies For Enhancement in Food Production
A technique of micropropagation is
A
protoplast fusion
B
embryo rescue
C
somatic hybridisation
D
somatic embryogenesis
Answer
somatic embryogenesis
Explanation
Solution
Micropropagation is the latest method of j obtaining a large number of plantlets from plant tissue culture. It is called micropropagation because of the minute size of the propagules. It involves repeated subculture of the explant by changing the medium so as to form a large number of plantlets from that single | explant. Somatic embryogenesis i.e., developing embryos from somatic cells is one of the techniques of micropropagation.
