(a)Haberlandt
(b)Handstein
(c)Schmidt
(d)Nageli
Solution
He was an Australian botanist who pointed out the possibilities of the culture of isolated tissues and plant tissue culture by suggesting the potentiality of individual cells through tissue culture and the reciprocal influences of the tissues on one another.
Complete answer:
Terms like protoderm and procambium word coined by Haberlandt. He coined the three terms of the apical Meristem which includes the protoderm that develops into the epidermal tissue, procambium which develops into the vascular tissue, and ground Meristem that develops into the ground tissue. His assertions method for tissue and cell culture was realized that led to the significant discoveries in biology and medicine and the original Idea was presented in 1902 that was known as totipotentiality. Totipotentiality is the capacity of the plant cells to give rise to a complete plant. Protoderm is the outermost thin layer of the meristem in the embryos that are grown on the points of roots and stems and gives rise to the epidermis. The meristematic tissue which is concerned with providing the primary tissues of the vascular bundle is the procambium.
Additional Information: Procambium helps in developing into the primary xylem and primary phloem which produces the vascular cambium and cork cambium with the secondary meristems. they differentiate into the phelloderm which is inside and the phellem or cork which is outside. These three layers constitute the periderm and give rise to the pericycle which produces lateral roots in eudicots. Apical Meristem constitutes protoderm which lies outside the stem and develops into the epidermis. It helps in functioning the growth and continues to give rise to the new cell by cell division which develops into differentiated cells that include permanent tissue.
So, the correct answer 'Haberlandt'.
Note: Haberlandt is known as a father of hormonal contraception who experimented on rabbits where he demonstrated temporary hormonal contraception in a female by transplantation of ovaries from a second pregnant animal.
