Question

Write down the benefits of plants grown through tissue culture.

Answer 1

1. High-quality varieties of crops have been developed through tissue culture.
2. Genetic improvement of plants has become possible through tissue culture; moreover, these traits can be inherited by the next generation.
3. The benefits of tissue culture in fruiting and flowering plants include the incorporation of desirable traits, such as disease and pest resistance, through various biotechnological techniques.
4. Uniform growth, early maturity, and high yields may also be achieved through tissue culture techniques.
5. In fruiting plants, it helps produce non-cracking fruits of uniform size.

Answer 2

1. Tissue culture techniques can generate several copies of the same plant with enhanced traits. The horticulturist prefers to cultivate larger and more abundant fruits from fruit-bearing trees. Colourful, fragrant flowers are preferred on flowering trees.
2. Tissue culture technologies create plants that are not reliant on specific climates and local seasonal variations. This enhances the yield in an area that would otherwise be incapable of producing a specific crop.
3. For tissue culture, saplings and seedlings are provided year-round via the laboratory. The constraints associated with acquiring natural seeds are absent, allowing for year-round sowing.
4. Tissue culture procedures produce plants of consistent size, shape, and yield. Due to their perfect similarity, it proves advantageous.
5. In a shorter time period, the crops reach maturity
6. The crops are pest- and disease-resistant.
7. Tissue culture techniques are cost-effective and easy to carry out.
