Which of the following techniques can be used to propagate 'Ornamental plants'?
-
Budding
-
Fragmentation
-
Tissue culture
-
Regeneration
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Ornamental plants are very delicate and some of their features make them valuable. It is desired that during their propagation, there should be no change in those traits and also they should remain free from any disease. Both these requirements are met by tissue culture technique. In addition, it helps to produce a large-scale commercial yield. Budding, fragmentation and regeneration cannot serve all these purposes together because they are slow and cannot ensure disease free progeny.
