Phytotron is a device by which
A
mutations are produced in plants
B
plants are grown in controlled environment
C
protons are liberated
D
leaf fall occurs on abscission layer
Answer
plants are grown in controlled environment
Explanation
Solution
Phytotron is a device in which plants can be grown on a large scale in a range of rigidly controlled conditions of light, temperature of air and soil, humidity and composition of air water and nutrient content of soil etc. Individual controlled environment chambers, a common feature of most botanical laboratories, provide more limited, small scale control of environment. Both types of facility can be of immense value in experimental investigations of plant growth.
