Question: By which method mass multiplication of plants can be done? (RJ ACF Ranger 2021)
Options:
Budding
Cutting
Tissue culture
Grafting
✅Explanation: Tissue culture is a technique used for mass multiplication of plants under controlled laboratory conditions. It involves taking a small piece of plant tissue (explant) and growing it on a nutrient medium, where it can differentiate into new plantlets. This method allows for rapid and efficient production of large numbers of genetically identical plants.
📌 Other Options Explanations:
-Budding: Asexual propagation method where a bud is taken from one plant and inserted into the stem of another. Suitable for roses, citrus fruits, etc.
-Cutting: Asexual propagation method where a stem or root cutting is used to grow a new plant. Suitable for pomegranate, grapes, etc.
Grafting: Asexual propagation method where a scion (shoot) from one plant is joined to the rootstock of another. Suitable for fruit trees like mango, apple, etc
