STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCEMENT IN FOOD PRODUCTION

260402 Tissue culture technique can produce an infinite number of new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising:

1 genetically uniform population identical to the original parent
2 homozygous diploid plants
3 development of new species
4 variants through picking up somaclonal variations
