प्रश्न
Find out what the various components of the medium used for propagation of an explants in vitro are?
उत्तर
The culture media used to propagate an explant in vitro contains nutrients such as inorganic salts, vitamins, 2-4% sucrose, the amino acid glycine, and growth regulators such as auxin and cytokinin, with or without yeast extract, coconut milk, or banana pulp. The culture media might be liquid, semisolid with gelatin, or solidified with agar. The explant needs these nutrients for proper growth and development.

Insects in the Lepidopteran group lay eggs on maize crops. The larvae on hatching feed on maize leaf and tender cob. In order to arrest the spread of three such Lepidopteran pests, Bt maize crops were introduced in an experimental field.
A study was carried out to see which of the three species of lepidopteran pests was most susceptible to Bt genes and its product.
The lepidopteran pests were allowed to feed on the same Bt-maize crops grown on 5 fields (A-E).
The graph below shows the leaf area damaged by these three pests after feeding on maize leaves for five days.
