Q. Explant used for the production of disease free plants is _______

MHT CETMHT CET 2018Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production

Solution:

To obtain virus/disease free plant from an infected plant, meristem culture is opted as meristematic cells are free of virus or disease causing agent. This is so because meristematic cells divide at a greater pace than division of virus, so viruses could not invade freshly formed meristems.
