Apomictic embryos in citrus arise from

Options

(a) Synergids
(b) Maternal sporophytic tissue in ovule
(c) Antipodal cells
(d) Diploid egg

Correct Answer:

Maternal sporophytic tissue in ovule

Explanation:

Apomixis is an asexual type of reproduction in which the plant embryos grow from egg cells without being fertilized by pollen-the male part of the plant. In citrus, apomictic embryos arise from maternal sporophytic tissue like nucellus and integuments in ovule. This type of embryony is called adventive embryony.
