Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have

  • vascular bundles arranged in a ring

  • cambium for secondary growth

  • vessels with elements arranged end to end

  • cork cambium

Solution

B.

cambium for secondary growth

Grafting is the technique of joining parts of two plants so as to form a composite plant. Grafting is carried out during period of active growth and rapid healing between two related plants having vascular cambium. One plant has strong root system and the other plant possesses better flower or fruit yield. The former is called stock and the latter is known as scion or graft. Vascular cambium are the lateral meristem found in those vascular plants that exhibit secondary growth. It forms secondary xylem and secondary phloem mostly by periclinal division.
