Question

Micropropagation is preferred in which fruit plant over conventional propagation owing to faster multiplication and disease-free plants?

A.

Banana

B.

Grape

C.

Apple

D.

Pear

Correct option is A


• Micropropagation is a tissue culture technique used to produce large numbers of genetically identical and disease-free plants in a short period.
• It is especially important for vegetatively propagated crops that do not produce good seeds, such as banana, which is sterile and normally propagated by suckers.
• Using micropropagation, thousands of banana plantlets can be produced from a single explant, ensuring fast multiplication and uniform, disease-free planting material.
