Question

Which of the following species has nucellar embryology?

• A. Citrus
• B. Gossypium
• C. Triticum
• D. Brassica

Answer 1

The correct option is A Citrus

Nucellar embryony or polyembryony refers to the development of the seeds from embryos produced by the nucellar tissue that surrounds the megagametophytes. These additional embryos or polyembryony is genetically identical to the parent plant and the nucellar seedlings are the clones of the parent. This is a genetic trait and is a form of seed production that occurs in many species of citrus plants.

So, the correct answer is option A.
