Questions and Answers

What is the advantage of producing dihaploid plants from haploid cultures in plant tissue culture?

  • It increases the genetic diversity of the plants
  • It enables the production of larger plant organs
  • It allows for easier adaptation to different environmental conditions
  • It shortens the time taken to achieve uniform homozygous lines and varieties (correct)

What is the purpose of using meristem and shoot culture techniques in plant tissue culture?

  • To allow the production of large numbers of uniform individuals of species from limited starting material (correct)
