Grafting in monocots is rarely successful because

Options

A. Monocots have closed vascular bundles
B. Monocots are without cambium
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Both wrong

Answer

C

Explanation

Cambium is one of the types of lateral meristem cambium itself is of two types (1) Vascular cambium (present between the vessels i.e. xylem and phloem) (2) Cork cambium (present below the epidermis)
In grafting cambium helps in binding two parts of stem. Monocots have closed vascular bundle and do not possess cambium, so the grafting is not possible.
