#Plant Biotechnology
Assertion (A): In cereals like rice and wheat, the choice between embryo or callus formation can be manipulated.
Reason (R): Modifying the medium composition in these species can induce either embryos or calli.

#Plant Biotechnology
Statement I: Cold treatment (3–6°C) helps in retarding the aging of the anther wall, thereby allowing more microspores to switch from gametophytic to sporophytic development.
Statement II: Maize responds best to standard cold treatment temperatures of 3–6°C rather than higher temperatures like 14°C

#Plant Biotechnology
Statement I: Hot treatment (e.g., 30°C for 24h) in Brassica stimulates embryogenesis by causing the dissolution of microtubules and displacement of the spindle.
Statement II: This thermal shock leads to normal division of the microspore nucleus.

#Plant Biotechnology
Statement I: Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) treatment increases haploid production by inducing multinucleated pollen grains.
Statement II: Pollen grains induced by Ethrel treatment are characterized by having a high density of starch grains.
