Question

Name the plant that shows adventive embryonic cells.

• A. Lemon and palms
• B. Citrus and mango
• C. Lemon and maize
• D. Sunflower and mango

Answer 1

The correct option is B Citrus and mango

Adventive embryos, arise from tissues outside the embryo sac and they enter the embryo sac where they grow to maturity. Adventive embryos differ from sexual embryos in having a lateral position, irregular shape, and lack of suspensor. Adventive embryos, which inherit characters of the maternal parent, have been used to provide genetically uniform seedlings of mango and citrus.

So the correct option is 'Citrus and Mango'.
