  1. For union between stock and scion in grafting which one is the first to occur?
    1. Formation of callus
    2. Production of plasmodesmata
    3. Differentiation of new vascular tissues
    4. Regeneration of cortex and epidermis
Correct Option: A

In grafting, union between stock and scion produces undifferentiated mass of cells called callus. Grafting is a method of plant propagation widely used in horticulture, where the tissues of one plant are encouraged to fuse with those of another. It is most commonly used for the propagation of trees and shrubs grown commercially. Grafting is limited to dicots and gymnosperms. Monocots lack the vascular cambium required.
