Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R)
Assertion : In direct somatic embry-ogenesis, embryos are developed without going through callus formation.
Reason : This is possible due to the presence of pre-embryonically determined cells.
-
- Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct reason for (A)
- (A) is false but (R) is true
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason for (A)
Correct Option: D
Somatic embryogenesis can be initiated either directly without going through the callus phase from predetermined embryonic cells or indirectly through callus proliferation and differentiation into embryonic cells within the callus tissue
