Micropropagation Techniques in Plant Tissue Culture

• Sexual propagation of plants for commercial purposes
• Propagation of plants through fusion of parental gametes
• Mass vegetative production of plants in vitro for commercial plant production (correct)
• Asexual propagation of plants through zygotic embryos

• Seeds are often produced in large numbers and can be stored for long periods without loss of viability (correct)
• Plants grown from seeds are generally free from pests and diseases
• Seed propagation ensures perpetuation of unique characteristics of individual plants
• Plants regenerated from seeds are individually inexpensive and easily distributed

• Plants grown from seeds are more susceptible to pests and diseases
• Seeds lose their viability after long storage periods
• Plants regenerated from seeds are not genetically identical to the parent plant
• Some plants do not produce viable seeds (correct)
