Q.1
Tissue culture technique can produce indefinite number of new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising ... ..[ AIIMS 1992]
0%
a) Variants through picking up somaclonal variations
0%
b) Genetically uniform population of an elite species
0%
c) Homozygous diploid plants
0%
d) Development of new species
Explanation
Tissue culture technology is based on the fact that whole plant can be regenerated from explants i.e., any part of a plant grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media and growth regulators. This capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell/explant is called totipotency. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant. Answer:(b)

Petiole is used in multiplication of ... [ MHCET 2011]
0%
a) Peperomia
0%
b) Bignonia
0%
c) Saintpaulia
0%
d) Sansevieria
Explanation
Peperomia is a small perennial epiphyte growing on rotten wood. These plants are naturally propagated by seeds but these are commercially propagated by leaf or stem cuttings. The petiole is an important part of leaf which is used for the propagation. Leaves are harvested from stock plants for which propagation is desired. The petiole section of each leaf is sterilized and cultured on a nutrient media which forms callus and finally develops into a plantlet. So, the correct answer is option a. Propagating Most Peperomia species can be relatively easily propagated from leaf cuttings, similar to the way African violets are propagated. Remove large leaves with their stalks (petioles) and bury in seedling starting soil. Use of a rooting hormone can increase the odds of success. Place the cutting in a warm, bright place until new growth emerges. Answer:(a)
