Which key feature best differentiates somatic embryogenesis from organogenesis in plant tissue culture?
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1In somatic embryogenesis, vascular connections are continuous with the parent tissue, whereas in organogenesis vascular strands remain independent.
- 2Somatic embryogenesis does not require growth regulators, while organogenesis strictly requires an auxin-cytokinin balance.
- 3Somatic embryos develop bipolar structures (with both shoot and root poles), whereas organogenesis typically produces unipolar structures that require further differentiation.✓
- 4Somatic embryogenesis originates from zygotic embryos, while organogenesis originates from vegetative explants.
Correct answer
Somatic embryos develop bipolar structures (with both shoot and root poles), whereas organogenesis typically produces unipolar structures that require further differentiation.
