Question

If vegetative propagation is not possible in a crop, then buds, shoot apex or any other part of the plant can be used as explant for __________.

• A. Hybridisation
• B. Micropropagation
• C. Layering
• D. Cutting

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Micropropagation

If vegetative propagation is not possible in a crop, then buds, shoot apex or any other part of the plant can be used as explant for micropropagation. Micropropagation is the culture of cells, pieces of tissue, or organs. It is possible to regenerate new plants from small pieces of plant tissue because each cell of a given plant has the same genetic makeup.
