Question

Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have

• A. vascular bundles arranged in a ring
• B. cambium for secondary growth
• C. vessesls with elements arranged end to end
• D. cork cambim

Answer 1

The correct option is B

cambium for secondary growth

The grafting technique is successful in two related plants having vascular cambium (characteristic feature of dictoledons). Cambium is meristematic in nature and can help in regrowth of the stem. But, it is absent in monocotyledons, so grafting is not possible in monocots.
