Development of shoot and root in tissue culture is determined by
A. Cytokinin and auxin ratio
B. Enzymes
C. Temperature
D. Plant nutrients
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Development of shoot and root in tissue culture is determined by cytokinin and auxin ratio.The pioneering work has shown that a high auxin/cytokinin ratio induces root regeneration, whereas a low ratio promotes shoot induction.
High cytokinin-to-auxin ratios correlated with the shooty phenotype of transformed tissues propagated in vitro in the absence of added growth hormones.
