Name the technique and the property of plant cells that can help to grow somaclones of certain desired varitey of apple. Explain how somaclones of apple can be obtained in the lab so as to get the desired variety on a large scale.

Explanation

Tissue culture or micropropagation is used which utilizes totipotency to grow somaclones of certain desired varieties of apples in short period of time.
A specific tissue of desired varieties is chosen and grown invitro under sterile conditions to give callus. Callus is cut into small parts taken in different test tubes added with specific phyto-hormones. Roots and shoots grows after few days. Plants after few weeks of hardening process get ready to be planted in field.
