Contribution in biology of Emerita V de Guzman?

Answer 1

Dr. De Guzman was lauded for her outstanding contribution on the growth and development, in vitro, of the makapuno coconut embryo, resulting in a faster propagation of pure macapuno trees. As a result of this effort, she has revolutionized the old ratio of the makapuno-bearing nuts in the tropics which produce only 3-5 makapuno nuts in every raceme bearing 14-19 nuts. Dr. de Guzman produced 100% all makapuno-bearing in the raceme. Aside from these, she is also recognized for devising tissue culture techniques for rapid propagation of abaca and banana.

Answer 2

Emerita V. de Guzman, a renowned Filipino scientist, made significant contributions to the field of Biology through her research on plant physiology and micropropagation techniques. She played a crucial role in the development of tissue culture protocols for the mass propagation of economically important crops such as mango and banana, revolutionizing agriculture in the Philippines. Her work has had a lasting impact on the agricultural sector and has helped improve food security in the region.
