Question
In order to obtain virus-free plants through tissue culture the best method is
-
protoplast culture
-
embryo rescue
-
anther culture
-
meristem culture
Solution
D.
meristem culture
In meristem culture, the shoot apical meristem alongwith some surrounding tissue is grown in vitro. It is used for clonal propagation and recovery of virus free plants. It is also potentially useful in germ plasma exchange and long term storage of germ plasma through freeze preservation.
