Question

Using tissue culture, many plants can be grown from single parent in disease-free condition.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Tissue culture is the process by which the plants are produced in artificial conditions by using growth hormone as a growth and differentiation factor. The tissue is isolated from any part of the disease free plant and it is cultured in the nutrient media under standard lab conditions. The tissue grows into a mass of cell known as callus which differentiates into root and shoots in the presence of auxin and cytokinins respectively and finally turns into the new plant. The obtained plant is subculture into a number of the plant by the process of micro propagation. So, the given statement is true.
