(a) Enumerate the advantages of Artificial seeds.
(b) Write in detail about Autogenic succession and Allogenic succession.

Explanation

Artificial seeds have many advantages over the true seeds as follows:
Millions of artificial seeds can be produced at any time at low cost.
They provide an easy method to produce genetically engineered plants with desirable traits.
It is easy to test the genotype of plants.
They can potentially stored for long time under cryopreservation method.
Artificial seeds produce identical plants.
The period of dormancy of artificial seeds is greatly reduced, hence growth is faster with a shortened life cycle.
