To meet the demands of the society, in vitro production of a large number of plantlets in a short duration is practised in floriculture and horticulture industry today. This is called
- A hybridoma technology
- B somaclonal variation
- C somatic hybridisation
- D micropropagation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) micropropagation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) micropropagation,
To meet societal demands for large numbers of plantlets quickly, the technique used in floriculture and horticulture is called micropropagation. This method allows for the rapid production of multiple plantlets from a small tissue sample in a controlled environment.
Hybridoma technology is used for producing monoclonal antibodies.
Somaclonal variation refers to genetic variation in plants regenerated from tissue culture.
Somatic hybridisation involves the fusion of somatic cells to create hybrids.
