WBJEEWBJEE 2011Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production

Solution:

Any part of a plant taken out and grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media is called explant. The growth of this part in a suitable culture medium is called tissue culture. Culture of plant parts has resulted in the regeneration of compete plants. By application of this method propagation of large number of plants can be achieved in very short durations.
