Coconut milk is used in tissue culture because it contains

  1. Auxin
  2. Gibberellin
  3. Ethylene
  4. Cytokinin

Answer

(4) Cytokinin

Solution

As per NCERT, cytokinins were discovered as kinetin, and zeatin was later isolated from corn kernels and coconut milk.

⇒ Cytokinins promote cell division, so coconut milk is added to tissue-culture media to make cells divide and form callus.
