(e) Embryo rescue

Explanation

Embrya rescue It is a technique in which immature embryos are dissected out from the fruit (seeds). They are then grown in nutrient medium leading to the formation of plantlets. Embryo rescue technique is done in conditions where the embryo does not develop after initial divisions, though the pollination and fertilisation had been successfully completed.
This technique is being used to improve varieties of chickpea, groundnut, etc., at International Crop Research Institute for Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad.
