In order to obtain virus- free plants through tissue culture the best method is [2009] (a) Embryo rescue (b) Anther culture (c) Meristem culture (d) Protoplast culture
Option C It is possible to produce disease-free plants through meristem culture because viruses move readily in the vascular system, which, in meristems, is absent. A high metabolic activity in the actively dividing meristematic cells does not allow virus replication and a high endogenous auxin level in shoot apices may inhibit virus multiplication
