To obtain virus-free healthy plants from a diseased one by tissue culture technique, which part/parts of the diseased plant will be taken?

A

Apical meristem only

B

Palisade parenchyma

C

Both apical and axillary meristems

D

Epidermis only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Both apical and axillary meristems are free of virus for healthy plant cultivation because of strong interferon activity in these region. These tissues form a protective impermeable covering around themselves, which is non-penetrable by any pathogen. Hence, these tissues are used in the production of disease-free plants by tissue culture.
