Q. Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have

A) Vascular bundles arranged in a ring
B) Cambium for secondary growth
C) Vessels with element arranged end to end
D) Cork cambium
Explanation

In grafting technique, two parts of two related plants are joined, so as to form composite plant. In this, one plant having strong root system, is called stock, while the other having better shoot is called scion or graft. The grafting technique is successful in two related plants having vascular cambium (characteristic feature of dictoyledons). Later is absent in monocotyledons, so grafting cannot be possible in monocots.
