Question

Somatic embryogenesis is a desired method of plant regeneration for plant transformation because

• A. It mainly results into chloroplast transformation
• B. It largely favours marker-free transgenics
• C. It produces confirmed transgenics
• D. It produces chimeric transgenics

Hint:

Somatic embryogenesis $\approx$ Single Cell origin $\rightarrow$ Non-chimeric plants.
Organogenesis $\approx$ Multicellular origin $\rightarrow$ Risk of Chimeras.
