Q696
Development of shoot and root in tissue culture is determined by
A.
Cytokinin and auxin ratio
AnswerB.
Enzymes
C.
Temperature
D.
Plant nutrients
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Development of shoot and root in tissue culture is determined by cytokinin and auxin ratio.The pioneering work has shown that a high auxin/cytokinin ratio induces root regeneration, whereas a low ratio promotes shoot induction.
High cytokinin-to-auxin ratios correlated with the shooty phenotype of transformed tissues propagated in vitro in the absence of added growth hormones.
