Before releasing new cultivars in plant breeding programs, their testing includes all the following except:

1. growing these in the research fields and recording their performance under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices.
2. testing the materials in farmers’ fields, for one growing season at selected locations in the country
3. comparison to the best available local crop cultivar – a check or reference cultivar
4. taking care of all patent and legal issues

The plantlets produced during plant tissue culture are called somaclones because:

1. They can be produced in a very short span of time
2. They are the result of the somatic hybridization of two cells
3. The gametes develop parthenogenetically to produce genetically identical plantlets
4. They are genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown

Conventional breeding is often constrained by the availability of a limited number of disease-resistance genes that are present and identified in various crop varieties or wild relatives. This is most commonly overcome by:

1. Inducing mutations 2. Somaclonal variations
3. Genetic engineering 4. Plant introduction
