Growing of shoot tips in vitro to obtain completely to develop of plantlets is called:

  • A.another culture
  • B.meristem culture
  • C.organ culture
  • D.callus culture

Answer: B

Meristem culture is the growing of shoot tips in vitro to get plantlets. It is used for virus-free planting material.

Anther culture grows anthers, organ culture grows organs, and callus culture grows undifferentiated tissue, so they are not the culture of shoot tips.

Meristem culture uses the tiny dome of tissue at the shoot tip, which is usually free of virus, so the plantlets that grow from it are healthy planting material. It is widely used for banana, potato and orchids.
