Cloning of crop plants in tissue culture involves tiny pieces from the parent plant. Sterile agar jelly with plant hormones are needed which makes tissue culture an expensive way of cloning crop plants.
What function is performed in the ground tissue of a plant but not in the meristematic tissue?
Many different functions are performed by ground tissue including photosynthesis, storage, and support. Ground tissue makes up the majority of the plant structure and is composed of three cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells.
How tissue culture techniques can be used to produce only female date palms?
Well the theory is straight forward.Identify a female Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) with desirable characteristics.Take a tissue sample of the plant and culture it via (in vitro) or tissue culture procedures.There are already existing protocols for the culture of Date Palms.Once the plantlets are ready they are planted out and hardend-off they can be sold.As tissue culture is a vegetative process all the "daughter plants" are genetically identical to the original mother plant.
