Question

Adventive embryony is seen in which plants?

• A. Pea and Mustard
• B. Citrus and Mango
• C. Rice and Wheat
• D. Sunflower and Marigold

Hint:

Adventive embryony is an important tool in plant biotechnology, enabling the development of genetically identical plants from somatic tissues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Adventive embryony refers to the formation of embryos from somatic (non-reproductive) cells. This phenomenon is seen in certain plants, such as sunflower and marigold, where embryos can develop in tissues other than the zygote or ovule. This type of embryony is used in plant breeding and agriculture to propagate certain plant varieties. Thus, the correct answer is Sunflower and Marigold.
