A) Production of hybrid species
B) Rare plant species can be preserve
C) Haploid plants can be produced
D) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Pollen culture is used for the production of haploids from anther or pollen grain. These are used for pureline selection and improvement of crop. First haploid plant was raised by Guha and Maheshwari from the pollen of Datura innoxia. Hybrid species is produced by crossing two different species. If this hybrid is superior than either of its parent, this is called, hybrid vigour (heterosis). Rare plant species can be conserved ex-situ or in situ.
