The structure employed by White for first successful tissue culture was ____________.

  1. Root of Carrot

  2. Root of Tomato

  3. Leaf cells

  4. Apical meristem.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

White was the first one to successfully attempt the technique of tissue culture. He cultured tomato roots in a nutrient media composed of vitamins. He developed the continuously growing callus from the root which had the property of totipotency.

Plant medium used widely in preparation of culture medium is got from ____________.

  1. Cycas revoluta

  2. Cocos nucifera

  3. Pinus roxburghii

  4. Borassus flabellifera

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Option $B$ is correct.

Plant medium used widely in the preparation of culture medium is got from Cocos nucifera milk of coconut or coconut water is widely used for culture preparation as it contains several growth substances and can be extracted easily. It provides the growth hormone known as cytokinin. Cytokinins promote cell division and induce morphogenesis. The first natural cytokinin known as zeatin was obtained from the coconut plant.
