Solution
The correct option is C Both statements are correct
- Plant tissue culture involves in-vitro cultivation of plant tissues in an artificial medium under aseptic conditions.
- When a plant part is grown on a culture medium, it forms an undifferentiated mass of cells called callus.
- Each callus has the ability to give rise to a new plantlet. The plantlets are then placed in the soil so that they can grow into mature plants.
- The advantages of this method are that plants can be grown on a large scale in limited space and time. Plants with desirable characteristics such as disease-resistance, excellent quality, high yield etc., can be produced.
