Biology · Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production
In virus-infected plants, the meristematic tissues in both apical and axillary buds are typically free of virus because:
- 1viruses completely lack the ability to multiply within any meristematic cell
- 2the cell division in meristems is faster than the rate of viral multiplication✓
- 3meristems contain high concentrations of anti-viral compounds
- 4the dividing cells are inherently virus resistant
Correct answer
the cell division in meristems is faster than the rate of viral multiplication
