Question
Somatic embryogenesis is an important exercise in micropropagation and genetic engineering of plants. The following steps are considered as critical for achieving somatic embryogenesis: A. Reducing the concentration of sucrose in the medium by half. B. Addition of the hormone, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid to induce somatic embryos. C. Reduce agar concentration to 0.6% (w/v) D. Use maltose in place of sucrose as a carbon source Which one of the following combinations is correct?
Explanation
In somatic embryogenesis is an important exercise in, A and B represents established outcome. functional assays confirms option C (A and B) as correct, while alternatives misstate substrate or regulatory direction, contradicting textbook data.
