Q. Meristem culture is practised in horticulture to get

Delhi UMET/DPMTDelhi UMET/DPMT 2011Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production

Solution:

Cultivation of axillary or apical shoot meristem is known as meristem culture. It involves the development of an already existing shoot meristem and subsequently the regeneration of adventitious roots from the developed shoots. Meristem culture can be used for rapid clonal multiplication, production of virus free plants, germplasm conservation and production of transgenic plants.
