- EXPERIMENT 4: INDUCTION OF CALLUS SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS OF HAPLOID PLANTS Objective: To prepare anther as a source of explant To induce callus somatic embryogenesis of haploid plants Procedure: Cut off the buds and sort them into 3 developmental stages based on length of buds Surface sterilize the buds in 70% ethanol for 2-3 minutes, making sure the entire bud is immersed in the alcohol. Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report.

Selected Answer: This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Answers: This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal A minimum amount of light is always necessary for floweringarrow_forwardACTIVITY 9: In angiosperms, fruits play an important role in seed dispersal. Plant biologists recognize different types of fruit, 11 of which are described in the table below. Dried fruits can be further classified as indehiscent (the fruit/pod does not split open when ripe) or dehiscent (fruits/pods split open when mature). 51 Examine the provided examples of fruits. Fruit Type Description Example Category Simple fruits Ovary wall and seed coat are fused, one seed; seed is attached at only one point to the ovary wall Sunflower seeds Achene Ovary wall is thin and fully fused to the seed at all points; one seed. Wheat orti eno Grain m Walnut Ovary wall hard or woody but can be separated from seed, one seed; may have an outer husk Dry fruits Nut at maturity Ovary has several cavities in cross-section, several Cotton fruit ng yinea Capsule Gc to many seeds g co Bean pod Ovary has one cavity that opens along both sides, many seeds Legume Milkweed Folliclemulq Ovary has one cavity that…arrow_forward
