'Ornamental plants' are propagated by which of the following techniques?
-
Budding
-
Fragmentation
-
Tissue culture
-
Regeneration
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Ornamental plants are typically propagated through tissue culture because it allows rapid mass production of genetically identical, disease-free plants with desirable traits. This in vitro technique is ideal for commercial propagation of high-value ornamental species. While budding is used in some horticultural contexts (mainly for trees), fragmentation and regeneration are not standard commercial propagation methods for ornamental plants.
