Verified By Collegedunia
Solution and Explanation
Application of Callus Culture: Callus culture is widely used for plant regeneration and genetic transformation. It allows for:
- Production of genetically modified plants by introducing foreign genes into callus cells.
- Clonal propagation and regeneration of whole plants from undifferentiated cells.
- Screening for disease resistance and production of secondary metabolites.
