Genetically improved crop varieties can be developed in laboratory by

Options

A. somaclonal variation
B. transgenic technology
C. cell suspension culture
D. All of these

Answer

A

Explanation

All three technique given in the options, i.e. somatic hybridisation, transgenic technology and somaclonal variation are the methods which are used to produced genetically improved varieties in labs. Genetically improved varieties are those genome is altered artificially in laboratory by using different methods in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or for the production of desired biological products.
The cell suspension culture is used for the multiplication of cells by providing them culture or by suspending them in a suitable medium.
