Adventive embryony in Citrus is due to

  1. nucellus
  2. integuments
  3. zygotic embryo
  4. fertilized egg.

Answer

(1) nucellus

Solution

As per NCERT, in many Citrus and mango varieties some of the nucellar cells surrounding the embryo sac start dividing, protrude into the embryo sac and develop into embryos.

⇒ Such embryos (adventive embryony) arise without fertilisation, giving polyembryony.

∴ Adventive embryony in Citrus is due to the nucellus.
