Question

Murashige and Skoog medium is used for

• A. Isolation of fungal strains
• B. Culture of bacteria
• C. Raising plants through micropropagation
• D. Culture of protein rich cyanobacterium Spirulina

Answer 1

The correct option is C Raising plants through micropropagation

Plants obtain minerals from the soil. Hence, they can be grown in a soil less nutrient medium. Various nutrient media are also used to culture plant through micropropagation. Because plant cells are totipotent, hence they can be propagated through micropropagation.

Micropropagation is a technique used in plant tissue culture in which a small plant tissue (called as explant) of a plant can be used to obtain multiple new plants, i.e., propagate the mother plant.

Murashige and Skoog medium or (MS Medium) is a plant growth medium used in the laboratories for the cultivation of the plant in cell culture.

So, the correct answer is 'Raising plants through micropropagation'
